CARICOM’s call

Dr. Keith Mitchell

Recently, there have been a number of signs that indicate that the West Indies team’s tour of England scheduled for July will go ahead despite the coronavirus pandemic.

Apart from the fact that there have been several media reports which suggest that the tour is a distinct possibility, on Monday, the website of Cricket West Indies (CWI) stated that several Barbados players from the squad shortlisted by CWI, had resumed training on the island including test Skipper Jason Holder.

While a decision on the tour is expected to be made tomorrow when the CWI Directors meet via conference call, it seems a foregone conclusion that the tour will take place.
