CWI Calls Emergency Meeting After Historic 27-All Out Against Australia

Cricket West Indies (CWI) has called an emergency meeting following the team's 0-3 Test series loss to Australia, including a historic collapse to 27 runs in the third Test—the second-lowest total in Test history. CWI President Dr. Kishore Shallow has invited legendary West Indies cricketers Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd, and Vivian Richards to join existing committee members Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Desmond Haynes, and Ian Bradshaw to review the series and develop actionable strategies for rebuilding. Dr. Shallow acknowledged the deep disappointment within the cricket community but urged patience and emphasized the importance of investing in the next generation to restore West Indies cricket's former strength. He described the meeting as a crucial step to generate tangible recommendations and stressed unity among fans, players, coaches, legends, and administrators to move forward together. Despite the painful defeat, Shallow expressed faith in the players' talent and commitment, highlighting early positive signs, particularly in bowling. The CWI aims to harness the insights of past greats who helped define the region's "golden eras" to guide the next phase of cricket development.
