He was a lethal bowler at times.<br /><br />I know he injured his left hip and got back stress fractures bowling against Australia in November '09. He was charged with disorderly conduct and assaulting a police officer following a bar-room scuffle in Jamaica in January '10 and didn't feature for the West Indies again until the T20 WC in April/May. His WI central contract was then cut in August due to his "limited availability" with the WICB claiming Taylor had shown a "lack of commitment" to a rehabilitation program he had been put on for his back (Taylor refutes this). He was not even in the provisional 30 man squad for the '11 World Cup and went on to play the IPL in May. It wasn't until he'd arrived in India that anyone from the WICB had contacted him for an update on his injury, at which point Taylor was told to play a full domestic season to prove his fitness. Allegedly at this point, he took a year off? I have no idea why. WICB chief executive Ernest Hiliare claimed, "He took a break, went to Jamaica to a funeral, came back and got injured. He was put on a programme. Next thing we heard he was in the IPL." This is one of the reasons his attitude has been called into question as well as his professionalism and desire.<br /><br />The bad news for Jerome Taylor is that the current West Indian selection panel were recently voted to stay in until September 2014. The good news is the increasing of West Indian central contracts from 15 to 20, giving him a greater chance of getting back in to the fold. <br /><br />Currently, Taylor is working in St. Elizabeth in Jamaica, training at the St Elizabeth Technical School with the senior coach, working on his fitness. He went unsold at the '13 IPL auction so it will be interesting to see his next move.Classical Poochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01563213610531215557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5390378917936408827.post-52045512403504838622013-02-06T00:34:18.581+00:002013-02-06T00:34:18.581+00:00Would love to know the latest news on what has hap...Would love to know the latest news on what has happened to Jerome Taylor? He doesn't even play for Jamaica anymore - only a handful of SL T20 and IPL T20s in the last few years.Cricket Dochttp://www.cricketequipmentonline.com.aunoreply@blogger.com
