Jamaica’s selectors have snubbed Chris Gayle for the captaincy of the national team, opting to continue with Tamar Lambert at the helm for the Caribbean Twenty20 tournament starting next week in Barbados…

I agree with you... A consistent captain is better for a team.
I seem to remember in one of the recent tournaments (i think it was the last List A tourny) Lambert was dropped because of fitness issue. I think it was Perry who outlined that after questions were raised.
Maybe Perry was pushing for that again in this tournament and met some challenge.

Tamar Lambert, former captain who led Jamaica to the title in 2007 and was named in the provisional 18 missed out because of his fitness.“You must be at least 80% fit and he was way below that level and we don’t have the time to be getting people fit at this stage so, we thought that the best thing to do was to let him go. We need to set a precedent that we’re in this for the betterment of Jamaica cricket and by extension, West Indies cricket,” said Perry.
