CWI Acts After 27 All Out, Misses World Cup

After a historic collapse to 27 all out in the third Test, resulting in a 0-3 series whitewash against Australia, Cricket West Indies (CWI) president Kishore Shallow called an emergency meeting to address the team's performance crisis. Legendary cricketers Clive Lloyd, Vivian Richards, and Brian Lara were invited alongside committee members Shivnarine Chanderpaul and Desmond Haynes to provide guidance and actionable recommendations. The defeat, now the second-lowest total in Test history, has intensified concerns over the West Indies team's continued decline, compounded by their failure to qualify for the 2023 World Cup. Shallow stressed that the involvement of past icons is substantive, aiming to generate tangible strategies for rebuilding. He urged unity and patience among fans and stakeholders, reaffirming commitment to investing in the next generation. The meeting marks a crucial step in seeking a turnaround for West Indies cricket.
