Cricket West Indies Reveals List Of Contracted Players For 2022-23

Cricket West Indies (CWI) revealed the list of the contracted players for the 2022-23 season. As many as 36 players were offered the contracts in both men’s and women’s categories.

There is an evaluation period of performances that starts from April 1, 2021, to March 31, 2022, which allows CWI to provide appropriate appraisals. Speaking about the same, lead selector of the men’s team, Desmond Haynes said in a statement:

“Congratulations to all the players who have been offered contracts. We think this is a dynamic group, with the right mixture of experience and youthfulness to properly represent the people of the Caribbean. With general retainer contracts, it gives us a pool of talented and dedicated cricketers, who can take West Indies cricket forward in years to come.”

“The selectors have placed a great focus on the young developing players because these are the ones who will help to build the team as we look towards the future.”

“The panel believes that the combination of experienced players and the emerging players will give a good base as we continue to prepare teams for international matches and the T20 World Cup early next year,” women’s lead selector, Ann Browne-John stated.

The men’s retainer contract structure will offer contracts across different forms – either the red-ball category or the white-ball formats.

“I am delighted for all the players who have been offered retainers for the upcoming period. This represents a significant investment in the ongoing development of our international players whilst also ensuring our best players are available for selection,” CWI director of cricket, Jimmy Adams said.
