Which is the weakest team in regional cricket?

Sat, May 23, '26 at 5:39 PM

Regardless of format.

My vote goes to Windwards by far

if there’s consensus on this, what can be done to improve the standard of cricket in that territory.

Should the “Combined Islands” be revisited with a goal to producing stronger, and more competitive overall WI team at all levels?

CWI has a significant financial issue. Travel between the territories is increasingly expensive and challenging. CWI has already centralized cricket by having Antigua as an official “hub”

Perhaps the time has come to consolidate further….beginning with the Leeward and Windward islands.

Basically, to progress…..should WI cricket revisit it’s past?

@imusic

But Windwards has some decent players. They have 3 former WI test batsmen in Athanaze, Hodge and Ambris. A decent fast bowler in Tyson and a decent offie in Dember. They also have Auguste who is favoured. With 6 players who are supposed to be of at least regional standard, they should be doing better. The problem therefore must be the coaching. They need someone to light the fire under them to make them perform better or at least more consistently at the standard one would reasonably expect of them.
