It is over. Amen. With a little luck, West Indies might have featured in this week’s semifinals of the T20 World Cup final. We came really close! Within six dot balls. What if, with seven runs needed off the last over, Shai Hope had found a Delilah to cut Samson …

So far, so good. Skipper Shai Hope starred with the bat and pacer Shamar Joseph with the ball as West Indies brushed aside potential party-poopers Italy by 42 runs at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Thursday. The comfortable win gave the Daren Sammy-coached Maroon Men four wins from their four …

When Roston Chase dived forward at deep midwicket to snaffle the low catch offered by Adil Rashid, England were still all of 30 runs short of the West Indies’ challenging 196. And just like that, with Nepal and minnows Italy still to be faced, Daren Sammy’s unfancied squad had solidified …

“[…] Being humiliated is nothing new to West Indians born mid-1980s and later. But this 27 all out feels different—this feels irreparable. “In the past, every time we hit a new low, we always had a couple of players in the team that we knew, in the back of our …

“[…] Progress is rarely straightforward… We have already seen encouraging signs, particularly with the ball… Now is the time to stand even closer as a people. “As an immediate step, I have advised the chair of the Cricket Strategy and Officiating Committee to convene an emergency meeting to review the …

Boasting the most feared and most formidable bowling foursome in contemporary world cricket, Australia need no assistance to best Roston Chase’s now-struggling-to-find-their-feet West Indies. In the first match of the three-Test series, they won by 159 runs in Barbados last week, and they seemed to get it anyway. From an …

Veteran spinner Akeal Hosein and rookie batsman Jyd Goolie both look set to miss out on West Indies’ upcoming T20 International series against England and Ireland, due to the Cricket West Indies (CWI) failure to land visas for the cricketers. West Indies play the first of three T20I matches against …

West Indies have added veteran allrounders Andre Russell and Jason Holder to their T20 International squad, as they prepare for three T20Is against England and another three against Ireland later this month. However, the Maroon Men will be without dynamic 29-year-old batsman Nicholas Pooran, who asked to be rested for …

The Cricket West Indies (CWI) Board has appointed 33-year-old allrounder Roston Chase as the new West Indies Test captain after what the regional body described as “a data-informed, multi-dimensional” selection process. Chase replaces the 32-year-old Kraigg Brathwaite who resigned the post in March but intends to continue on as a …

Five overs to go, six wickets intact and 66 runs still needed for victory. Saint Lucia Kings (SLK) are chasing their first-ever Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) title. Before a partisan crowd at the National Stadium in Providence, Guyana on Sunday evening, the right-handed pair of Roston Chase and …

The deed is done. The defending champions have been defeated. By six wickets. And on their third attempt—having repeatedly discussed the distinct possibility of a double Lucian celebration this year after Julien Alfred’s sprint gold in Paris in the summer—the Saint Lucia Kings finally have their first title. On Sunday …

A cricket match, a cricket sage once wrote, is played in the minds of the opposing captains. Were he writing in the post-20th century T20 world and thus disposed to making the compulsory compromises imposed by today’s audience of e-literates, he might not have stopped there. But, I imagine him …
