The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic may have far reaching effects on cricket regionally, however, Cricket West Indies Vice-President, Dr Kishore Shallow is of the belief that cricket may resume in the region no sooner than next year.
Shallow, who is just over 18 months into his term, revealed his observations during an interview on the Mason and Guest radio programme recently. When asked about local cricket, Shallow emphasized that it would be inaccurate to say that the region has not had any local cricket, categorizing the recently concluded Caribbean Premier League into that bracket. However, as it relates to the 50-over and First-Class seasons, fans will need to wait until 2021.
“So we are looking at early 2021 to have a [Super50] Regional tournament and that would be followed by our Four-Day tournament,” Shallow indicated.
