The Independent Voice of West Indies Cricket
Trinidad and Tobago plans to bid to host as many as six ICC World Cup matches, including the final, when the world's premier ODI tournament comes to the Caribbean in 2007.
The Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board of Control (TTCBC) is putting together its own local organizing committee to work with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) to plan for the staging of World Cup 2007, according to T&T cricket board boss Alloy Lequay.
Give a pat on the back to West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president Rev. Wes Hall.
On the heels of reports that the Antigua Police Force had penalised up-and-coming fast bowler for playing club cricket in Barbados, the WICB boss held discussions with Sanford's employers and straightened out the issue.
The clock has run out on Ricky Skerritt's topsy-turvy tenure as manager of the West Indies team.
Despite assurances from the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) that Skerritt's application for contract renewal would be given equal treatment, there are moves afoot to give the job to chief operations officer Michael Hall.
What is to be West Indian? Is it a visual thing? Must one look black? Is it to look mixed? To talk with a twang in your voice?
To be West Indian in my mind is a cultural infusion of many influences -- African, Indian, Dutch, Portuguese -- and to use those influences to reflect our culture in everything from our art and music to our politics to our sporting identity.
Antiguan cricketer Mali Richards left the Caribbean this week to take up a cricket contract with the Eastern Suburbs Cricket Club in Australia.
Mali, son of West Indies chief selector Viv Richards, said he would use the Australia trip to "learn and develop" his game. "I know that I will be judged according to what my dad has accomplished and while I recognise his vast achievements, I am confident in my abilities and I am ready to accept the challenges that lay ahead," the left-hander said.
