Colonialism madness in WI Cricket

I never hear such madness yet! Who do the WI cricket board think they are? The new colonial regime? Please somebody, tell them that the days of athletes without multiple sponsorships went out with colonialism!! Today's athletes are finally able to get the respect they deserve through the various endorsement deals that they can sign. Why does the cricket board want to axe players because of an issue like this? It's pure madness! Does the cricket board have the necessary funds to pay these players enough money to make them feel appreciated? Because in that case, I would say, yeah fine, go ahead and make it an issue how many contracts these players have. The board should be happy that the players can have these additional contracts because this means the players don't have to rely on their salaries alone to support themselves. I would like to know how the board proposes to improve the team's reputation by axing some of their best players. Do they know something we don't know? Do they have players that can do better than these? They can never replace the likes of Brian Lara, no matter what anyone says. It will certainly be entertaining to see them try!
