West Indies could disband within 10 years! - chairman - 04-02-2017
Cricketwindies.com fears the once great West Indies could disband within 10 years as a result of their continued failure on the international stage. We put heat on the management team run by WICB chief executive because it has serious management issues.
Cricket in the west Indies is in a state of disarray after 25 years of under-achievement. There is now a generation of West Indies cricket fans who have grown accustomed to their side as one of the pushovers of world cricket rather than one of the most feared teams the game has seen.
We have a passion for West Indies cricket, we have this emotional attachment to the West Indies brand. Anybody who is under 25 years of age would not have the same emotive connect with West Indies cricket that we had because we knew we were beating the world. These people would have no idea of Greendige, Richards, Lloyd and how good they were.
Cricket, unlike football and athletics, is the only major sport in the Caribbean which plays under the West Indies banner. Disbanding, would result in the West Indies losing their test status and the separate nations becoming associate members of the International Cricket Council.
There was a time, long ago when the West Indies cricket team really mattered to me. As a youngster growing up in Guyana, there wasn’t much we had to shout about. In any discussion, arena or sporting forum—long before the internet took off—the Windies were a source of immense pride.
We at cricketwindies.com are hoping and wishing that the day will come when the west indies will be a world beating force again!

Sad day in cricket - and sport in general - if this occurs...but then again seems the cricket stocks in the Caribbean are just not there now.
