The full member shareholders of Cricket West Indies have officially approved a historic set of governance reforms.
This was done at a special meeting on Sunday.
This landmark decision represents a significant step in modernising the organisation’s governance structure, enhancing accountability, and ensuring the long-term sustainability of West Indies cricket.
At the forefront of these reforms is the introduction of a term limit of a maximum of three terms of three years each for the positions of president and vice-president.
This critical change ensures fresh leadership opportunities, promotes continuity while preventing stagnation, and aligns CWI’s governance framework with modern best practices.
Additionally, the reforms include the increase of the term of the president and vice-president from two years to three years.
This change will take effect from the next presidential and vice-presidential election, which is due in March 2025.
The governance reform process has been a strategic priority for CWI, undergoing extensive discussions and consultations over the past few years, including insights from the Wehby Report.
The full member shareholders who attended this meeting were the Barbados Cricket Association, Guyana Cricket Board, Jamaica Cricket Association, Leeward Islands Cricket Board, Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board, and Windward Islands Cricket Board.
The introduction of term limits and the term extensions, adds to a list of other sweeping governance reforms designed to strengthen CWI’s operational structure and accountability.
