“Post mortem doan bring back dead,” is an irrefutably valid old Guyanese saying. Following the unmitigated disaster of the West Indies ICC 2021 T20 World Cup campaign, an official Cricket West Indies (CWI) inquiry into its causes is now, however, fully merited.
The roles of the selectors, coaches and captain should now all be officially scrutinized as a means of ensuring that such a disaster is never again repeated
The West Indies entered the 2021 T20 World Cup as defending champions and the tournament’s only ever two-time winners. The West Indies’ “Mission Maroon” campaign, however, ended ignominiously with the unenviable record of just one very squeaky win and four mammoth losses in the five matches played. Indeed, had it not been for Bangladesh’s generosity in gifting the West Indies its only win by a mere three runs, the former champions could very easily have ended the tournament’s Super12 preliminary round winless, point-less, and at the very bottom of the Group A points standings.
