Of the fifteen-man West Indies squad that travelled to the T20 World Cup in India, nine were over 30 years of age.
Where the remaining six were concerned, only three could consider themselves regulars, and Shimron Hetmyer will soon turn 30 himself.
I should clarify that by no means am I saying that a player should be written off when they reach their third decade. In fact, some might argue that the squad’s advanced age range makes sense as it mirrors the general trend among T20 competitions worldwide.
For example, in this year’s Major League cricket tournament, 63% of the playing roster were over 30.
