ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced that annual retainer contracts have been offered to all thirteen (13) members of the existing Senior Panel of Umpires for the new contract period April 1st 2021- March 31st 2022.
The significant reduction in regional cricket in the last contracting period, due to the impact of COVID-19, has resulted in no changes being made to the list of umpires to be offered contracts. CWI invests annually in the panel of umpires due to their fundamental role in ensuring that the spirit and integrity of cricket is preserved, and that the highest possible quality fair play is upheld on the field. Investing in a broader pool of umpires who can be rewarded for their hard work and application in developing their skills is vital for the health of cricket at all levels.
