PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad – Cricket West Indies (CWI) Director of Cricket Jimmy Adams and Coach Development Manager Chris Brabazon, completed a successful three-week development programme with local coaches in Trinidad and Tobago at the National Cricket Centre, Couva May 31 to June 17. The series began on May 31 during the final round of the just concluded West Indies championship, when Director of Cricket Jimmy Adams, accompanied by West Indies Men’s team Batting Coach Monty Desai and strength and conditioning coach Ronald Rogers delivered a Coach Development Workshop focusing on batting and player development.

Adams and Desai stressed to an audience of almost 40 coaches the importance of players receiving good coaching early in their careers and challenged those present to ensure they played their part in developing the next generation of international players. There was a focus on how decision-making will always be the key factor, irrespective of how cricket has evolved, determining the success of any budding cricketer and that players as young as ten-year-old should be encouraged to make decisions when being coached.

Excellent.
