ST JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC—Indies (CWI) recently hosted a workshop aimed specifically at helping them improve the skills of territorial scouts and better identify talent across the region.
The director of Cricket at CWI, Miles Bascombe, met with territorial talent identifiers, key high-performance, and coaching personnel from May 8 to 10 during the West Indies Breakout League in Trinidad to improve alignment, evaluation methods, and integration with the senior men’s team environment.
vThe six talent identifiers went through several comprehensive sessions with head coach Daren Sammy, alongside high-performance manager Dwain Gill, senior talent manager Jamal Smith, and CWI’s performance analyst Avenesh Seetaram.
Bascombe said the workshop’s main objective was to educate the talent identifiers.
“The workshop’s main objective is to ensure that the territorial talent identifiers know the processes that drive selection and, by extension, talent identification and development.
We also took the opportunity to align the depth charting process and gather their input on creating a standardized player assessment model to be implemented system-wide. The input and feedback from the group was extremely valuable and provided a foundation for continuous collaboration,” Bascombe said.
Sammy lauded the initiative, which he said was in line with the strategic plan to align the principles of the international team with the regional level.
“It’s a marvelous initiative brought on by CWI with all the talent IDs we have around the region to provide context and guidance to this instrumental group by giving them an in-depth look into what we do at the highest level in all three game formats.
“The processes we go through, the collected data, and how those translate to filling the respective personnel roles in the various teams. The workshop allowed us to show our talent IDs a template they could mirror in their home territories regarding planning and tactical aspects at the international level,” Sammy said.
