These are dark times for WI cricket, but I stay loyal: Roach

West Indies cricket is facing a financial crisis that threatens to reshape the future of the sport in the region, with players set to receive a 25% cut in retainer fees. Despite these challenging circumstances, veteran fast bowler Kemar Roach remains steadfast in his loyalty to the team, focusing on performance rather than financial concerns.

The 38-year-old, who has taken 304 Test wickets, emphasized that his motivation comes from the pride of representing a team with a storied history, rather than monetary incentives. He acknowledged the suspension of regional men’s 50-over and women’s T20 tournaments as a worrying sign for younger cricketers, urging the board to ensure a sustainable path forward for the next generation.

Roach, currently training at the Super Kings Academy, continues to deliver with his pace bowling, undeterred by the financial struggles plaguing the sport. His commitment to the game remains unwavering, vowing to give his all as long as his body allows.
