Cricket West Indies, has extended invitations to three former players – Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards – to take part in an emergency meeting following West Indies’ 3-0 series loss at home to Australia.

The West Indies greats will join Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Desmond Haynes and Ian Bradshaw on the Cricket Strategy and Officiating Committee to review the team’s “deeply disappointing” performances over the past few weeks.

West Indies folded quickly in the first two Tests , but they saved the biggest ignominy for the very last, folding for 27 in 14.3 overs.

The total was just one run better than New Zealand’s Test-record low of 26 in 1955, but it was 20 runs short of West Indies’ previous worst total of 47.

It was the first time in Test history a team recorded seven ducks in an innings and the six runs made collectively by West Indies’ top-six batters was the lowest in any innings in Test history.
