After the twenty-ninth inter-sessional meeting of the conference of the Caricom Heads of Government concluded on the 28th February, in Haiti, the communiqué issued, surprisingly, included the subject of West Indies cricket.
Surprisingly, since at the previous gathering of the Heads of Government, the thirty-eighth meeting of the Heads of Government in Grand Anse, Grenada, last July, the subject was not on the agenda, and when it was broached by Dr Keith Rowley, Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister, no one wanted to discuss it.
In the strongly worded communiqué, the heads stated that they had accepted the legal advice of two Queen’s Counsel on cricket in the Caribbean Community (Caricom) being a regional public good and that they had voted unanimously to intervene and bring “some sanity” to West Indies cricket.
