Dr. Kishore Shallow has confirmed that he will see out his current term as president of Cricket West Indies. Shallow’s recent successful electoral campaign with the New Democratic Party (NDP) and his subsequent appointment as St. Vincent and the Grenadines’ Minister of Tourism and Maritime Affairs provoked uncertainty regarding his ability to fulfill both roles effectively.
In a press release issued by CWI on Sunday, the 41-year-old revealed his intentions “not to seek re-election” when his second stint as head of the organization runs its course in 2028. While insisting that there exists “no conflict of interest,” Shallow pointed to the single-minded focus necessary to execute the Wheby Report recommendation changes as among the reasons for his decision.
“My conviction is that the work ahead requires steady leadership and a commitment to completing the reforms already set in motion,” Shallow said.
He highlighted on-field results as being among the issues his government has so far failed to rectify.
