West Indies cricket legend Brian Lara has discussed the dilemma faced by modern-day cricketers, who prefer lucrative T20 franchise leagues like the IPL over national duties. He emphasized the importance of instilling loyalty to West Indies cricket and the challenges faced by the West Indies Cricket Board (CWI) in competing with the financial incentives offered by T20 franchise leagues worldwide. Lara acknowledged that the financial allure of the IPL and the lack of interest in West Indies cricket are not solely the players' faults.
