The 2026 West Indies Championship bowled off on Sunday with all six contesting teams in action across three venues in its new format.
Kevin Wickham’s magnificent 153 against the Jamaica Scorpions at Chedwin Park was the highlight of Day 1 action. Wickham starred for Barbados Pride, who compiled 348 in 81.4 overs, batting first. He shared in a 117-run fourth-wicket stand with Kyle Mayers, who contributed 64, before adding 130 runs with Shamar Springer (40) for the sixth wicket.
Marquino Mindley (4/32) and Peat Salmon (4/104) led the Scorpions attack before openers Kirk McKenzie (8*) and John Campbell (3*) survived a tricky six overs for the hosts, who got to stumps at 17 without loss, 331 runs behind the visitors.
