Cricket West Indies (CWI) President Dr. Kishore Shallow had productive meetings in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, on November 6 and 7, 2023, with officials from Broward County and the City of Lauderhill, discussing the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup scheduled for June 2024.
This event marks a historic moment as it will be the largest cricket World Cup ever, jointly hosted by West Indies and the USA.
The primary focus of these meetings centered on the preparations and opportunities surrounding the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup. Additionally, discussions revolved around collaborative efforts to enhance cricket in both the West Indies and the USA, as well as the possibility of sustaining a partnership with Worldwide Sports Enterprise (WSE).
Satisfaction with the enthusiasm displayed
President Shallow expressed his satisfaction with the enthusiasm displayed by key stakeholders in the USA, especially Broward County and the City of Lauderhill. He stated, “Broward County and the City of Lauderhill are fully committed, and collective endeavors are underway to ensure the resounding success of this monumental event.” President Shallow also acknowledged the crucial role played by WSE in fostering cricket’s growth in Broward County.
Broward County Commissioner Hazelle Roger eagerly looks forward to hosting the World Cup and showcasing Broward’s excellence and hospitality to the world. “We are eagerly awaiting the announcements of the scheduled games to be played at Broward Central Regional Park,” she said.
Unforgettable memories
Mayor Ken Thurston of the City of Lauderhill shared similar sentiments, expressing honor at hosting the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in the United States and Central Broward Park and Stadium in Lauderhill. He anticipates creating unforgettable memories for guests, players, families, and friends attending the tournament.
