Cricket West Indies (CWI) has moved to provide clarity on the ongoing process of venue selection for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup scheduled to take place in the Caribbean and USA in June 2024.

CWI acknowledges the enthusiasm and interest expressed by various governments, cricket boards, and stakeholders in hosting the highly anticipated tournament. However, there has been some confusion over how the process works, especially in light of recent developments wherein Barbados Cricket Association President Conde Riley claimed that Barbados has been selected to host the finals of the tournament next June.

Those claims have been debunked by CWI President Dr Kishore Shallow.

So, what is the actual truth?

CWI Chief Executive Officer Johnny Grave explained, stating, "Following a robust selection process of our seven host venues, CWI-appointed Venues Selection Committee, chaired by President Dr. Kishore Shallow, has made recommendations to the ICC on allocations of matches for ICC Men’s T20 World Cup scheduled to take place in the Caribbean and USA in June 2024."

Even if it’s true that Barbados was awarded the final, just for that inexcusable breach of protocol by Riley, that decision should be revoked and awarded elsewhere.

Riley made no bones of his opposition to, & contempt for Shallow being elected CWI President and has been doing his best to undermine Shallow’s authority at almost every turn since.

This is just the latest, and arguably the most glaring example of insubordination and lack of respect for the CWI’ President’s office.

Let Riley then explain to his constituents how HE alone lost the opportunity to host the final

Doesn’t matter if he has documents or not. He is not the authority to announce who is hosting the finals.

If it came to be that an announcement was made on where the final was being hosted and Riley has documents in his possession that show evidence to the contrary, THEN he makes his case.

Not before. If he has suspicions that something is afoot, he should raise them PRIVATELY. What he has done here is an attempt to publicly force the premature announcement of finals host to be made in Barbados favour.

Oh well……that’s no big thing in a region that’s more concerned with runners up medals being taken off after being presented.

Now THAT……………..

In reply to imusic

you making sense until that runner up comment

In reply to imusic

In the original thread even Bajan openning was against what the big idiot Conde did.

Not true?

In reply to nick2020

What’s your point?

Play the whole ting in the coral rock…

In reply to imusic
The Podcast is not up, but it would be interesting to listen to it.
I was strongly against Conde and the lack of protocol, I live in Calgary too long, ignoring the gamesmanship people play on each other in the region.
Shallow was on speaking about the stadiums and the work needed, he was ask by Andrew Mason on Barbados hosting the final, my belief Conde having documentation of the final, and hearing Shallow saying that the venue will be known at a ICC meeting in November, and that BCL stadium is the newest and need the less work, that may had grab Conde attention.
Conde came on the program, and state he have documentation
Is there a move by Shallow not to have Barbados as the host, and Conde is calling him out?

In reply to imusic

Don't have a point.

But as an observation the Bajans like openning and powen denounced Bajan Conde.

Whereas the Trinis...

Shallow did not deny that Barbados will be hosting the final.

Hoss. Barbados has been the least receptive to t20 cricket, has the least vybz of any of the established Caribbean territories. As I said on an earlier thread, Kensington’s enthusiasm for this year’s CPL was lackluster. As bad as St Kitts.Allyuh entitlement surreal bordering on the absurd and stupefying. Firstly, allyuh hadda power wash that roof. Final should be in Guyana or Trinidad. The 2007 World Cup final was a complete disaster.

Little Joe, What does your rant have to do with Barbados hosting the finals of the T20 World Cup?

You are the first to say that the 2007 World Cup was a complete disaster, I wonder why.

In reply to openning

In reply to imusic

Not clever at all. Just obvious.

You in a whole nother thread talking about medals.

Even the Bajans know when to abandon ship.

In reply to openning

Trini posters have been insufferable lately.

In reply to sudden

What de Bajans do music man? Once wunna mek news man come with sharpened claws.

In reply to tc1

Hoss….yuh didn’t read the first line…..literacy is now a bajan developmental challenge?

The 2007 World Cup was a disaster. The final was almost farcical and only an Adam gilchrist special saved it

In reply to nick2020
Where you been. Imusic been going out of tune over anything Bajan for years. Some kind of deep seated envy thing.

You cant find many Bajans who would defend Riley antics but he want to punish whole of Barbados for Conde being a jerk....as if they dont have jackass admin too

In reply to sudden

Then can you address music man's points?

In reply to nick2020

yes to all that can be answered by a yes or no

the rest is Tit shit

In reply to nick2020

Stop all the insularity. This is an international showpiece event for the Region. It is patently obvious to all right thinking people that Guyana is the only place that has the money, the facilities, the fan base and the commitment from the government led Ali Government to make this the success it must be.
Guyana has taught the Caribbean how to bring the excitement and the interest back. Now, many will continue to argue that T20 is not cricket. It is lickit. But it is a spectacle. It is fast in a fast food world. It is the linchpin to bring fans back to what has and had become boring cricket. In marketing and advertising we can call this finding the hook and then build on it.
