In an address ahead of the Regional Conference on West Indies Cricket, Cricket West Indies (CWI) President Dr. Kishore Shallow emphasized the need for collective action and shared responsibility to address the challenges facing the sport in the region.
Dr. Shallow cautioned that there is no quick fix to the complex issues affecting West Indies cricket and stressed the importance of sustained effort from all stakeholders involved.
“While we have made considerable progress within CWI, setting the stage for a brighter future for West Indies cricket, it’s essential to recognize that there is no quick fix addressing the complex challenges facing our sport,” stated Shallow. “It requires sustained effort and participation from all stakeholders involved.”
Shallow highlighted the need for collaboration among various entities, including CARICOM governments, territorial boards, and other relevant stakeholders, to actively engage in advancing West Indies cricket. He underscored that meaningful progress cannot be achieved in isolation and called for collective effort in finding sustainable solutions.
