They should follow Zimbabwe's example and name a 22-man squad two days before the tournament begins.
Neil Johnson, Alistair Campbell, Murray Goodwin, Andy Flower (w), Grant Flower, Dave Houghton, Guy Whittall, Heath Streak (c), Andy Blignaut, Ray Price, Eddo Brandes

Even WI have announced their squad and most of their 'seniors' didn't return to the team as expected

At least they have Gayle. That Gayle and Lewis combo is going to obliterate a lot of associates but I honestly have a feeling they are in danger here.. very beatable if you do everything right. We might not beat them but I think somebody will and it will be at a crucial moment.

Windies cricket is in bad shape if Narine, Russell, Pollard, and Bravo think a T20 League is more worthwhile. This would not happen with any other international team. They deserve to not qualify basically.

Yeah I doubt anyone is getting through the tournament undefeated. But in the high likelyhood of teams being on equal points, the Windies alone have the firepower to ensure they have a high NRR. The Afghans and their shit batting will struggle in that regard.

Here's your Dutch squad for the Qualifiers. Tendo in, but no Tom Cooper, van Beek, Rippon or Kervezee. Pace section is strong, but batting still somewhat suspect even with Ten Doeschate. Spin very vd Merwe dependent.

Peter Borren (Capt), Wesley Barresi, Ben Cooper, Ryan ten Doeschate, Paul van Meekeren, Stephan Myburgh, Max O’Dowd, Scott Edwards, Roelof van der Merwe, Shane Snater, Pieter Seelaar, Timm vd Gugten, Viv Kingma, Fred Klaassen, Sikander Zulfiqar.
