'It's A Long Road': Cricket West Indies Charts Revival Plan
Cricket West Indies: The West Indies are currently "not in the same level-playing field as other playing countries,” prompting an emergency meeting convened by Cricket West Indies (CWI). The gathering, which included legends such as Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards, Desmond Haynes, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, and current head coach Daren Sammy, concluded with a preliminary roadmap aimed at reviving West Indies cricket. However, as noted by participants, “it's a long road, it's not going to happen tomorrow".
One of the immediate outcomes from the meeting, as Clive Lloyd revealed, is a plan to request a "special dispensation" from the ICC – essentially, additional financial support in recognition of the West Indies' rich cricketing legacy.
Though CWI executives and cricketing greats such as Lloyd and Lara acknowledged that numerous ideas were discussed during the two-day session in Trinidad, they emphasised that these ideas still need to undergo an internal process before any official announcements can be made. There was also a sense of apprehension due to the rapid and seemingly unending decline of West Indies cricket. “Hope to see them come to fruition,” said Lloyd. “Sincerely hope this doesn’t come to some damp squib.”
