-CPL open to renegotiating 50-year deal says Russell
Viewed as a potential catalyst for a turnaround in fortunes for West Indies cricket, the CARICOM Regional Cricket Conference wrapped up yesterday at the Hyatt Regency, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago.
Following two days of presentations and suggestions from various Prime Ministers of Caricom countries and legends of West Indies cricket ranging from Brian Lara to Joel Garner and Michael Holding, Cricket West Indies (CWI) President Dr. Kishore Shallow committed to making steps towards governance reform at the regional level.
Shallow, who took up the mantle of CWI Presidency in March of 2023, suggested a meeting with the CARICOM Prime Ministerial Sub Committee on Cricket and the Presidents of the various Territorial Boards in the Caribbean as soon as possible following the Cricket Conference with the aim of embracing governance reform, a problem that has long plagued West Indies cricket ranging from CWI itself to the local cricket systems in various Caribbean territories. “We have to embrace everything that persons have said at this forum and adapt these changes swiftly and hold each other accountable”, Shallow stated.
