Well, they already have bed racing, racewalking, rope climbing and the latest craze break dancing. Adding one more gimmick in T20 is par for the course.....

CWI has found a way to get its own t20 tournament back something many a cc.comer lamented about when they roasted WICBC for giving away the format to CPL. What say them now that CPL has agreed to give CWI its support and a window has been found in the 2025 calendar to have a regional t20 competition? Can they support their country team as opposed to a franchise team based in their island? That the initiative can culminate in a team from any of the islands repping the WI in Los Angeles is just toppings on the cake.

Possibly. However, Guyana would be a better lock to represent South America…

Guyana plays qualifiers for football in which Federation? The same should be for cricket. No rocket science needed.

Why yall worrying about Guyana? Guaranteed Olympic spot for us if we gotta play against the other South America countries 
Can't say the same for the Islands... yall gotta battle it out to get there.

On 24 February 2022, the FIFA Council approved the slot allocation for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The host nation France, earned automatic qualification to the tournament. For the remaining 15 slots, the AFC and CAF each received 3 automatic slots with a 4th nation from each confederation being granted a spot against each other, UEFA received 3 slots, CONCACAF and CONMEBOL received 2 slots, and the OFC received 1 slot.[1]

The IOC uses existing structures to run their qualifiers.
Guyana, Suriname and French Guyana play their Olympic Football qualifiers as part of CONCACAF and not CONMEBOL.
The ICC have an Americas Grouping made up of Associate Members such as:
Argentina
Bahamas
Belize
Bermuda
Brazil
Cayman Islands
Chile
Costa Rica
Falkland Islands
Mexico
Panama
Peru
Suriname
Turks and Caicos Islands
These are likely to play in a separate competition that may involve other Associate Members worldwide depending on the number of teams required for the competition

In other words, as far as the Olypicvs are concerned, there is no entity called West Indies as
a member of the IOC.
The IOC deals with individual countries who are members and operates on that basis on statutes with existing
protocols with international associations and groupings of countries.
For the LA Games, the IOC has included cricket but with only a small number of countries to take part ,these
will most likely be Australia, India,England et al.
For subsequent Games, the numbers may increase starting with the Brisbane Games and so individual
countries worldwide will most likely go through qualifications as thy now do for cricket world cups.
The individual WI countries except for Guyana will have it hard to make it to to the Olympics as they will
not only have to do well in their region..North and Central America as a first step but will certainly come
up against big time Associates from other parts of the world to make the final list.
We have seen WI fail in this regard with WC qualification.
The question thought is whether the individual WI nations are and will be prepared for this.
At least one, Jamaica, is not as its cricket is at a low ebb in both interest and quality.
A smaller county such as Antigua, Grenada, St Kitts, Nevis or St. Lucia can certainly hold its
own against the current Jamaica team. Perhaps even Cayman Islands will fancy their chances
of advancing out of the region to meet more sterner tests.
Should be fun...as was the case with the SANFORD tournament which has paved the way
for T20 in the Region

The Olympics have kept Great Britain as an entity, so if they feel that as a full member of the ICC, a West Indies Team will be better for the Competition, they cud opt that way.
In other words, the Olympics cud well be a catalyst for going it alone
