BRIS­TOL, Eng­land – West In­dies Women have qual­i­fied for their sec­ond suc­ces­sive semi­fi­nal at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

ST JOHN’S, An­tigua – Amir Jan­goo and cap­tain Ros­ton Chase pro­duced a bat­ting dis­play for the ages to put West In­dies in a strong po­si­tion to push for vic­to­ry against Sri Lan­ka at the end of play on the third day of the open­ing Test on Sat­ur­day.

Trinidad and To­ba­go-born small for­ward Malique Lewis was se­lect­ed by the Wash­ing­ton Wiz­ards with pick num­ber 30 (60th over­all) of the sec­ond round of the 2026 NBA Draft at Bar­clays Cen­tre in Brook­lyn, New York, on Wednes­day night. Hav­ing been se­lect­ed by Wash­ing­ton, Lewis was then trad­ed im­me­di­ate­ly to the Mil­wau­kee Bucks.

Busi­ness ex­ec­u­tive and crick­et ad­min­is­tra­tor Arun Vit­ta­la has tak­en mas­ters crick­et to the next lev­el in the Unit­ed States and to a point now where it is well-or­gan­ised and well-re­spect­ed.

ST. JOHN’S, An­tigua – Dhanan­jaya de Sil­va pro­duced a cap­tain’s knock of 120 runs from 168 de­liv­er­ies as Sri Lan­ka re­cov­ered from a dis­as­trous start to post 308 all out on an event­ful open­ing day of the first Test against West In­dies at the Sir Vi­vian Richards Sta­di­um, on Thurs­day.

I must con­fess, the 2026 FI­FA World Cup has so far gone pre­cise­ly ac­cord­ing to plan, with on­ly a few mi­nor hic­cups to re­port. Yes, there has been a jus­ti­fi­able cho­rus of com­plaints re­gard­ing ex­tor­tion­ate tick­et prices, re­stric­tive visa process­es, and those ut­ter­ly non­sen­si­cal hy­dra­tion breaks that seem ex­plic­it­ly de­signed to quench the thirst of cor­po­rate spon­sors rather than the ac­tu­al play­ers. How­ev­er, I am count­ing my lucky stars as I was able to se­cure rea­son­ably priced tick­ets to at­tend this buck­et-list event.

LON­DON, Eng­land – West In­dies Women’s bat­ting short­com­ings were cru­el­ly ex­posed by Eng­land Women as they slumped to a 38-run de­feat at Lord’s, on Wednes­day, their first of this year’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

ST JOHN’S, An­tigua – West In­dies Test cap­tain Ros­ton Chase be­lieves his side has what it takes to open their ac­count in this cy­cle of the World Test Cham­pi­onship (WTC) in their up­com­ing two-match se­ries against Sri Lan­ka.

COLOM­BO, Sri Lan­ka – Damel Eve­lyn and Kevlon An­der­son scored su­perb half cen­turies as the West In­dies Acad­e­my drew first blood against Sri Lan­ka Emerg­ing Play­ers in their open­ing Youth One Day In­ter­na­tion­al on Tues­day.

Foot­ball fans packed Hut Shutts in Tacarigua as an­tic­i­pa­tion reached fever pitch ahead of Ar­genti­na’s World Cup clash against Aus­tria on Mon­day, with sup­port­ers hop­ing to wit­ness a piece of foot­ball his­to­ry.

West In­dies and Sri Lan­ka will re­new their Test ri­val­ry to­mor­row at the Sir Vi­vian Richards Sta­di­um, where lo­cal form may counter the over­all num­bers that favour the vis­i­tors.

En­dem­ic cor­rup­tion. En­dem­ic im­puni­ty. Emp­ty promis­es. There is no ac­count­abil­i­ty. There is a men­tal­i­ty that peo­ple can do what­ev­er they want, in­clud­ing mis­man­ag­ing and es­sen­tial­ly em­bez­zling pub­lic funds. Crit­i­cisms and ac­cu­sa­tions of fraud, mis­man­age­ment, and mis­ap­pro­pri­a­tion of funds have plagued lo­cal sports for years; ac­count­abil­i­ty cam­paigns de­mand­ing an­swers to the where­abouts of mil­lions of dol­lars go un­heed­ed and un­pun­ished. Cor­po­rate spon­sors have called for ac­count­abil­i­ty, and in the ab­sence of any se­ri­ous ef­fort to ad­dress their con­cerns, they sim­ply walk away. Lost in the cul­ture of “sweep it un­der the car­pet” and ride out the im­me­di­ate out­rage is the idea of “Pe­ter pay­ing for Paul.” Paul pays for all sce­nar­ios. The sport or­ga­ni­za­tions that are metic­u­lous about do­ing the right thing and prop­er­ly ac­count­ing pay the price. They strug­gle to get or re­tain spon­sors. Even at the lev­el of the Min­istry of Sport and Sport Com­pa­ny, the small fry car­ry the bur­den. The big guns ap­pear to get away with mur­der and still get fund­ing. The play­ing field is not lev­el.
