CWI to spearhead formation of La Federación de Críquet de las Américas (FECA), a landmark regional body to coordinate and drive the growth of cricket across North, Central, and South America.

Emerging cricket hubs in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina present vast opportunities for collaboration, development, and increased regional relevance.
West Indies teams set to compete at the Bolivarian Games in Peru and the 2027 Pan American Games, aligning with cricket’s historic return to the Olympic stage.
 
Following an official visit by CWI President Dr. Kishore Shallow to Lima, Peru – a key moment tied to broader diplomatic and sporting engagements – the organization has announced its intention to spearhead the establishment of the La Federación de Críquet de las Américas (FECA). This proposed regional body will act as a collaborative platform to coordinate the exponential growth of cricket across the Americas, with Cricket West Indies assuming a parental role as the only ICC Full Member in the hemisphere.
 
President Shallow said, “This marks a pivotal step in advancing cricket across the Americas. Cricket West Indies embraces its responsibility not only to the Caribbean but to the wider region. We recognise the importance of structure, collaboration, and a unified vision to unlock the immense potential that exists throughout the Americas.”

Once the West Indies does not get involved in team selections they should be good. I am certain these administration(s) will be better managed. West Indies said, do as I say not as I do!

They killed cricket in their own country and is in the US they want to grow it. I hope Trump take their visa from them so they could do their homework

Good move. I can see the overall meaning behind it because it gives them some oversight and in the future some money as well. Plus can see we players getting a chance to make some money in other markets.
