Cricket West Indies’ (CWI) ambitious governance reform plans were dealt a significant blow as the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) and the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) opted out of a pivotal meeting yesterday, effectively stalling progress.
The absence of these two key shareholders meant the meeting, convened to discuss and vote on proposed amendments rooted in the Wehby Report, failed to reach quorum.
The reforms, including extending the President and Vice President’s term of office from two to three years and introducing structural governance changes, were designed to modernize CWI’s framework and align it with global best practices. However, the BCA and GCB continue to voice their opposition, proposing alternative measures and questioning the benefits of the suggested changes.
