GEORGETOWN, Guyana, CMC—The heads of government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) are meeting at the 21st meeting of the Prime Ministerial Sub-Committee on Cricket at the CARICOM Secretariat here in Turkeyen on Thursday.
The meeting comes one day after their engagement with Indian Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The leaders are set to brainstorm on the ongoing challenges confronting West Indies cricket.
The meeting, chaired by Trinidad and Tobago Prime Minister Keith Rowley, will, among other things, examine key issues and recommendations from the CARICOM regional cricket conference in April 2024 and review a proposal by CAGE International regarding funding for West Indies cricket.
Additionally, an update will be provided on the 2024 T20 World Cup, which the Caribbean co-hosted, while the present CPL contract will also be reviewed.
During his contribution to the extensive discussions, Prime Minister Gaston Browne cited the urgent need for reinvigorating West Indies cricket and adopting clear strategies to return “our cricket to the halcyon days of the past.”
He also agreed with the recommendation of commissioning a textbook or booklet, developing a video, and placing West Indies cricket as a curriculum subject in schools across the Caribbean to help change the fortunes of “our game” while disseminating the history of the game across the region.
Browne argued that a dynastic study could help determine the elements that should be incorporated into the textbook.
“Our players require the deployment of soft skills, which are just one element of a transformational approach to a resurgence of West Indies cricket,” Browne told his colleagues.
