Re­gret­tably, the West In­dies were knocked out of the ICC’s Men's T20 World Cup at the Su­per 8 stage by In­dia. While the West In­dies fell to In­dia, they did so play­ing the most in­spired crick­et we’ve seen from the is­lands in a gen­er­a­tion — no­ble, high-stakes, and ul­ti­mate­ly un­done by a sin­gle, un­stop­pable force.

A char­ter flight is cur­rent­ly be­ing arranged to trans­port the West In­dies se­nior men's T20 crick­et team safe­ly out of In­dia, where it has been strand­ed since Mon­day's de­feat against In­dia in a Su­per 8s match, con­firm­ing their ex­it from the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

Trinidad and To­ba­go’s se­nior women’s team showed im­mense heart on Wednes­day night, fight­ing back from two goals down to earn a gut­sy 2-2 draw against Hon­duras at the Es­ta­dio Chela­to Uclés in ​Tegu­ci­gal­pa .

BRIDGETOWN, Bar­ba­dos – In a land­mark move for do­mes­tic crick­et in the re­gion, the Bar­ba­dos Crick­et As­so­ci­a­tion (BCA) has con­firmed that elite-lev­el crick­eters par­tic­i­pat­ing in the up­com­ing three-day com­pe­ti­tion will re­ceive pay­ment for their ser­vices.

MUM­BAI, In­dia – In a pul­sat­ing high-scor­ing semi­fi­nal en­counter at the Wankhede Sta­di­um, Bar­ba­di­an-born Ja­cob Bethell’s as­ton­ish­ing 105 from 48 balls proved just short of mirac­u­lous as Eng­land fell just sev­en runs short of a record-break­ing chase, hand­ing In­dia a nerve-shred­ding vic­to­ry and a place in the T20 World Cup fi­nal on Thurs­day.
