West Indies coach Phil Simmons stated that if the national squad can feature the best players available, they can be the number one team in the limited overs formats.
The West Indies Cricket Board’s (WICB) current policy prevents players who don’t feature in domestic competitions from being selected for the national team.
Players like Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo, Samuel Badree and Andre Russell, who played a crucial role in the ICC World Twenty20 victory, have featured extensively in franchise cricket around the world.
Simmons feels that if West Indies don’t have their best squad, Australia and South Africa will have a psychological advantage in the upcoming tri-series.
Furthermore, Simmons reasoned that it was crucial for West Indies to pick their best players and gather wins under their belt as they prepare a team for the next Cricket World Cup.
“There has been talk already that players who did not come back and play in the Super50 won’t be selected (for ODI cricket),†the coach told ESPNCricinfo.

Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
