Jamaica, St. Vincent, Barbados and Trinidad among the Best In the World

There are currently four Caribbean Teams in the top twelve in the world. Our region rivals Oceania which has powerhouses like New Zealand and Australia and infinite resources behind netball. No male sport in the Caribbean can boast of this distinction. Our women are talented and we have been surviving on talent alone, it is time that we get some serious monetary and infrastructural injection to make the sport really come alive. We in the Eastern Caribbean are starving for resources, unlike cricket we have not found a Sir Allen.
