Not fully true , BD was always short , we all know Bengali's in general are short so their team is also. And in West Indies Youngsters are opting for other sports and we all know a tall guy is preferred in NBA , NFL etc still their team this year was full of Giants.It is not necessary that you will find a tall guy who has all talent , dedication and love that sport too .Tall guys are selected in sport if they have real advantage over short guys but in power hitting 5 feet 7 warner and Sehwag were very good Link to comment

Most of them are 5"10"+ They are all gaints we are no where near close Just live with it.. Height and well build people defo has advantage in Cricket when it gets to hitting very useful in t20's if you are not a classic player like Virat and Kane If they are Giants on average then no surprise but so far I have not read single article that Jamaicans or Carribean nationals are Giants, do you have any?
