Cricket West Indies (CWI) has introduced term limits for the president and vice-president as part of its governance reform efforts. However, former CWI directors Deryck Murray and Baldath Mahabir are not convinced that these changes will bring meaningful improvements on or off the field.
Among the key changes was the introduction of a term limit of three terms of three years each for the positions of president and vice-president.
Murray: One recommendation not adopted by shareholders was the reduction the size of the CWI board to “create a more efficient decision-making body.”
Mahabir “So I don’t see putting term limits as making a significant difference. It means very little because you have not changed the culture of the organisation or anything that suggests there will be changes in the way we govern, make decisions, or improve the quality of the administration.”

Mahabir proposed a different approach to governance reform, advocating for a more structured and professional board composition. “I made a lot of comments on the Wehby Report, but the basis of it is that we should have six territorial board representatives on the West Indies board and five independent directors. The president and vice-president should come from that structure. If the president is from the territorial boards, then the vice-president should be from the independent directors and vice-versa,” he explained.
