October, in Guyana.

In Nash’s clarification, the 33-year-old left-arm batsman cited that he had to take on the decision due to personal issues.
However, the news was further confirmed after http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Courtnay-c51619 Daley, Chairman of the National Selection Committee, stated that Nash expressed his desire to step down from his domestic squad through a letter.
“He (Nash) wrote to the JCA on Tuesday asking that he be excused due to personal reasons,” said Daley.
“He explained that he was undergoing a challenging period in his life, as his mind was not where he wanted it to be and, given these realities, did not feel him being around would serve the team well at the moment,” he added.
Daley, also made assurances that the Australian-born cricketer does not intend to retire from Caribbean cricket; however, due to Nash’s personal issues the batsman will be only taking some time off from his national and domestic commitments in order to visit
his family in Australia.
“He is not retiring or anything like that. He just wants to take some time off and will be visiting his family in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746,” said Daley.
Having been opted to sit out from the domestic tournament, Nash adds more exile to his Caribbean cricket spell since the player was recently dropped from the West Indies team towards the close of the home series against the Indian tourists.
As for the Caribbean national side’s upcoming assignment, Nash has once again been excluded from the team which is scheduled to tour http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 next month, where the two sides will meet under Test, One Day International and Twenty20 formats.
