Former West Indies star and 2016 T20 World Cup hero Carlos Brathwaite has officially declared his candidacy for a director position on the Barbados Cricket Association’s (BCA) board, pledging to bring innovation, global insights, and sustainable solutions to the future of Barbadian cricket.

The BCA is scheduled to hold its elections on August 12 at the Kensington Oval, where members will vote for the position of board members, secretary of the board and president of the board.

In a campaign released this week using the tagline “For the Players. For the People. For the Future”, Brathwaite outlined his core objectives under three pillars: Modernising the local game; Building talent pipelines and Making local cricket more financially viable.

Brathwaite, who played 44 ODIs, 41 T20s and three Test matches for the West Indies, said his goal is to transition “from on the field, to the commentary box and now potentially at the table with decision makers”.

“I am looking forward to a different challenge. I look forward to bringing fresh ideas and trying to get Barbados and West Indies cricket to maximise its resources and eventually improve on-field performances,” Brathwaite said.

Seriously he’s an intelligent person. I wish him the best.

enough from this interview
the way that dude conducted himself over an election that everyone, possibly even themselves, knew they would lose
more if yuh want but this was during the campaign

that 2022 election and the 2019 one had the toxicity of a general election

Calvin has the platform to make the changes he believes will move Barbados cricket forward.
He got into trouble for not following protocol a few years ago; now is his turn to bring his initiatives to the board.

This is about the BCA and Barbados cricket; I have no problem with Calvin Hope as the president, he is representing the BCA.

have you ever heard any cricket board election conducted with words like this spewed around, anywhere....even in a place as divisive as the west indies

it wasn’t even bad, it was the worst decision that has ever been made in recent times in West Indies cricket,” said Hope, a BCA vice-president and CWI director.

“Because here you were, you were just beginning to see some green shoots in the performance of a team – it doesn’t matter who was in charge before or anything like that. It was basically a political decision.

“From the time that rug was pulled from under that team’s feet what happened, the whole thing imploded – the confidence of the team went. Everybody is there to see that. There is no doubt about it.”

I can say that it has not been a situation of inclusiveness in decision-making,” Hope argued, pointing to a lack of consultation with territorial boards.

He added: “We need to examine and do a serious surgery on the day-to-day administration of our cricket. Everybody focuses on the board.

“The board meets quarterly … four times a year … all the decisions are being made by a few people. I believe if you do a serious analysis, some people would look as though they’re not performing at the optimum.”

Give it up, these quotes does not support your view on Hope's Character or ability to perform as president of the BCA.

GENTLEMEN

About 10 days ago, two people who know a lot about Calvin Hope said it would be terrible if he was elected BCA President.My response was why since I knew nothing about him.One of them responded, well for starters he hatched a plan for him to be CWI President and Senasie to be his Vice-President.My immediate response was I agree 100 % that it would be terrible if he became BCA President.
For those who do not know anything about Senasie,just research why the Guyana Franchise had to change their name to Guyana Harpy Eagles.
