President of Cricket West Indies, Dr. Kishore Shallow, has extended heartfelt congratulations to the Guyana Harpy Eagles following their impressive victory in the 2025 West Indies Championship, securing their third consecutive four-day title after a draw with Trinidad and Tobago Red Force on Saturday.
In a statement, Dr. Shallow lauded the Harpy Eagles for their consistency, discipline, and excellence throughout the season.
He said, “Winning back-to-back titles is no small feat, and their undefeated run this season is a testament to the leadership of captain Tevin Imlach and the collective effort of the players and coaching staff.”
The President then addressed the increasing online viewership of the tournament, rejecting the notion that the longer format of the game is dying, and highlighting the encouraging interest that was seen in this year’s competition.
Dr. Shallow said, “There has been a prevailing narrative that the four-day format is in decline. However, a view of the data suggests otherwise. This year’s tournament was widely viewed, and the record-breaking online engagement demonstrates that there is still a strong, passionate fanbase for red ball cricket.”
He said, “The viewership numbers we saw this season indicate a deep connection with the longer format, showing that it remains a vital and relevant part of the cricketing landscape.”
The West Indies Championship was played over seven rounds across the international venues in the Caribbean.
Guyana Harpy Eagles with 126.6 points was awarded the grand prize of 250-thousand US dollars.
