West Indies will not get senior cricketers against Sri Lanka. Andre Russell, Nicolas Pooran, Akil Hossain and Shimron Hetmyer said they will not play due to personal reasons. Caribbean cricketers are not willing to play in the country's jersey again. Is such a decision to play T20 League of different countries? However, the coach does not agree.
