Brian Lara and Micky Arthur On The Panel To Examine West Indies' Early Elimination From The T20 World Cup

Former West Indies captain Brian Lara and Derbyshire head of cricket Mickey Arthur are part of a three-member panel formed by Cricket West Indies to conduct a review of the West Indies’ early exit from the 2022 T20 World Cup, which was hosted in Australia. The panel will be chaired by Justice Patrick Thompson Jr., a High Court Judge in the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court. 

West Indies failed to qualify for the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup after losing to Scotland and Ireland in the group stage. England won the event. The West Indies’ only win came against Zimbabwe, who advanced to the following round alongside Scotland. 

Emotion-based and Knee-jerk Type Decisions Have Failed Cricket West Indies Repeatedly In The Past: Ricky Skerritt

The three-person panel, which has already begun its work, “will submit a Report to the CWI Board of Directors, with relevant insight and clear recommendations. It is also intended that this review will establish a process and template for future performance reviews. The Terms of Reference (TOR) will be published,” CWI stated.  

CWI president Ricky Skerritt stated of the panel’s appointment: “CWI is fortunate to have such a knowledgeable and totally independent panel agree to serve West Indies Cricket under challenging circumstances. I am especially grateful for their commitment to lend some of their valuable time to this important review project.  

“It is vital that players, coaches, administrators, and all of us who love West Indies cricket, recognize that creating a sustainable learning culture, throughout the organization, is a prerequisite for player growth and team improvement.

Emotion-based and knee-jerk type decisions have failed CWI repeatedly in the past. I am confident that this independent World Cup review process will produce findings and learnings that should be of great benefit to our cricket system going forward,” said Skerritt.
