Maybe, just maybe one of the reasons why West Indies was picked, stemmed from recent Stanford Superstars/England 5-year deal. However, how did West Indies ‘offer their services’ which is what I would like to know. And on what basis was West Indies picked, was there a draw or some kind of lottery ticket? From the news a few weeks ago where David Morgan/ECB iterated that they want Pakistan home series to be played in England, why was Pakistan not considered ahead of West Indies? The ‘draw’ and the attraction which West Indies (Stanford Superstars) had in West Indies a few weeks ago at the Stanford tournament will not be the same this time around in England.
And again, no clue why West Indies was picked. How did they ‘offer their services’, it’s puzzling.

West Indies in line to tour England in 2009
I cant understand why PCB didn’t pursue this opportunity when there was an uncertainty for such a long period of time about who England is going to play in May???
