“[…] There was also disappointment in the fact that Alzarri Joseph, who is on a multi-format contract with the West Indies board, opted out to go and play franchise cricket. “It is an issue that does not seem to arise with the other ICC affiliates… The West Indies side would …

Embattled fast bowler Alzarri Joseph will not travel to Pakistan with the West Indies team after being excluded from the squad for the two Test series at the Multan Cricket Stadium between 17 – 29 January 2024. The Cricket West Indies (CWI) hinted that Joseph’s absence was at his own …

In the splendid third CPL century he scored on Sunday evening, Nicholas Pooran got only one life. His 59-ball 101 put Trinbago Knight Riders on track to score a massive win over heavy favourites Guyana Amazon Warriors in Match 30 of the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) at Providence …

The wily Imran Tahir and reigning Republic Bank CPL champions Guyana Amazon Warriors jumped to the top of the 2024 standings with a game to spare, after getting a comfortable 35-run win against the Saint Lucia Kings at the National Stadium in Providence, Guyana on Saturday. It’s a fourth straight …

Hit and hope is an approach to batting sometimes employed by T20 batsmen and even teams, not always successfully. In Match 27 of the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) at Providence on Wednesday evening, the Guyana Amazon Warriors relied on Hettie and Hope (Shimron Hetmyer and Shai Hope). And …

7, 20, 15, 1, 5, 0, 45, 4, 1, 1. In a tournament where batsmen have so far dominated, those were the paltry partnerships the Saint Lucia Kings managed against Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Daren Sammy National Stadium in Gros Islet on Saturday. Their round 100 total never challenged …

Shimron Hetmyer did not hit a single four in the Guyana Amazon Warriors’ 40-run defeat of the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots at Warner Park in Basseterre on Wednesday. But the talented left-hander made up for it by smashing 11 sixes on his way to 91, the top score in …

With 16 needed off the last over on Friday, Dwaine Pretorius powered three fours off Mohammad Amir’s first five balls and a six off the last. The maximum took the Guyana Amazon Warriors total to 171, three more than the 168 for 6 the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons had managed …

West Indies are out of the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup. On a night interrupted by showers in Antigua, it was the self-titled Rainbow Nation that shone in the end as South Africa emerged with a three-wicket win—with five balls to spare. Allrounder Roston Chase starred with bat and ball …

“From the outside, we told our guys someone will have to play a blinder (because of how the pitch could be due to inclement weather),” said West Indies captain Rovman Powell. “We always believe individual brilliance is needed.” Batter Sherfane Rutherford did not disappoint with a superb counter-attacking half-century while …

Bitter experience is the best teacher. I know. Ever since Jason Holder’s West Indians unaccountably turned the tables on England at Headingley in 2017, I hate the taste of Brylcreem. And yet, here we go: I will eat my hat if Rovman Powell’s West Indies do not emerge victorious in …

Cricket West Indies (CWI) today confirmed their list of centrally contracted men’s and women’s players for the 2023-24 season, based on “recommendations from the selection panels and approval by the board of directors”. There are 14 men and 15 women on the list, which is drawn up “based on player …
