Which of the two (for me it is neither) Sammy or Coley deserve to be All-format head coach? The Hypocrisy and nepotism stink beyond the clouds

nothing ent change at all

Prime Minister of St Vincent & the Grenadines (SVG), Ralph Gonsalves, has expressed his disappointment with the manner in which West Indies cricket has been run under current Cricket West Indies (CWI) president, Dr Kishore Shallow.

Speaking during a recent lecture in Dominica, Gonsalves said the West Indies team’s recent performances left much to be desired.

“I have not seen the sort of changes for the better that I really thought that he would have led,” Gonsalves, a cricket enthusiast, admitted.

“If you look at the performances of the teams, they are below par. The T20, we invest so much money; it’s terrible, and it doesn’t matter what gloss you put on it; you have to look at the results.

“And there are lots and lots of criticisms by experienced administrators and former Test cricketers about how West Indies cricket is going under his leadership. It’s not a positive record at all.

“I genuinely thought that he would have made some changes for the better, but I haven’t seen them,” he added.

Additionally, Gonsalves said Dr Shallow, who took over the leadership of CWI from Ricky Skerritt in March 2023 after being elected unopposed at its 24th Annual General Meeting in Antigua, had done very little to improve how West Indies cricket was being run.

He accused CWI of operating as an “entrenched private operation” and suggested that cricket needed to be developed in schools across the region.
