That is the only way we will be rid of this antiquated millstone that has damaged our cricket for so long

An accountable board that gets regional funding. Currently each territory funds their own cricket. CWI does not work the way other countries financing works. They get no financial assistance from Goverments. Caricom has to step up and fund the only recognizable thing that unites the region. Sports in most countries gets allocated funds as part of their sports budget. The current independent business model does not work with a failing team that can't attract substantial sponsorship.

They get regional funding by numerous Tax breaks.

The Patterson report recommended that the WICB be comprised of two tiers: an executive council comprised of CARICOM members, players, civil society and most importantly the private sector. The next tier was the board with reduced oversight that if I recall correctly was supposed to be comprised of half territorial board members(one per territory ) and half prominent and successful businessmen
