“[…] The West Indies tacticians, in their wisdom, chose to give the new ball to Matthew Forde to accompany Jayden Seales in the first two games. In the third game, even with Forde missing, they again overlooked Alzarri and entrusted the new ball to Shamar Joseph. That, I believe, was …

You can be forgiven for thinking that the player who helped the regional team best Ireland by 197 runs in Sunday’s third ODI was Nicholas Pooran. Truth be told, when you hear that a current West Indian batsman hit eight sixes and 15 fours in a 142-ball innings of 170 …

The Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced a slew of changes in its player rosters today as the West Indies teams were named for a white ball tour of Sri Lanka this month. Among the notable absentees from the West Indies T20 International (T20I) squad were the in-form trio of batsmen …

“[…] (West Indies lead selector) Desmond Haynes has silenced the critics with this series victory in emphatic fashion. “Keacy Carty has the potential, I now understand why there is that focus on him, same with Alick Athanaze.
