Legendary captain Sir Clive Lloyd urged under-fire stroke-maker Shimron Hetmyer to “produce the runs” and remove any debate over his eligibility for a central retainer contract.
The left-handed Hetmyer was one of eight players snubbed by Cricket West Indies (CWI) for white-ball contracts earlier this month, while the Test pair of Shamarh Brooks and Shane Dowrich also lost their red-ball contracts and all-rounder Roston Chase, his all-formats deal.
Debate has subsequently raged – especially in his native Guyana – over the decision by selectors not to award Hetmyer a central contract, but Sir Clive contended the 24-year-old simply needed to start scoring runs consistently at international level.
