Pres­i­dent of Crick­et West In­dies (CWI), Dr Kishore Shal­low has set the record straight as far as un­der­tak­ing gov­er­nance re­form of re­gion­al crick­et.

Re­cent­ly, the di­rec­tors from the Bar­ba­dos Crick­et As­so­ci­a­tion (BCA) and Guyana Crick­et Board (GCB) failed to at­tend a board meet­ing where the re­gion­al crick­et body was due to con­tin­ue dis­cussing and im­ple­ment­ing rec­om­men­da­tions from the We­h­by Re­port on the gov­er­nance of West In­dies crick­et.

Nichols, who is the sec­re­tary of the BCA said in a re­gion­al crick­et ra­dio pro­gramme dis­cussing the re­form pro­pos­als said: “None of these things speak to the fun­da­men­tal as­sump­tion in the We­h­by Re­port.”

He then asked the pres­i­dent of ques­tion: “What are the four as­sump­tions in the We­h­by Re­port, do we know?”

Whilst Nichols was fiery, Dr Shal­low kept his com­po­sure re­spond­ing: “Let me say again that this We­h­by Re­port and the rec­om­men­da­tions, we are go­ing to im­ple­ment in an in­cre­men­tal way. So have al­ready im­ple­ment­ed a few res­o­lu­tions.

“Gre­go­ry was part of that meet­ing where we ap­proved some of those rec­om­men­da­tions. Now, this is a sec­ond phase where we are ap­prov­ing a fur­ther four res­o­lu­tions and then we plan to in­tro­duce more.”

CWI was un­able to meet a quo­rum for their De­cem­ber 6 meet­ing on gov­er­nance re­form, ow­ing to the ab­sences of GCB and BCA rep­re­sen­ta­tives.

A CWI state­ment said the GCB and BCA “failed to at­tend hav­ing opt­ed not to ap­point two rep­re­sen­ta­tives as re­quired by the com­pa­ny’s ar­ti­cles of as­so­ci­a­tion”.

The meet­ing was called to vote on im­ple­ment­ing gov­er­nance re­forms pro­posed by the We­h­by Re­port, which aims to mod­ernise CWI’s gov­er­nance frame­work.

CWI said no­tice for this meet­ing was is­sued on No­vem­ber 13 in ac­cor­dance with its ar­ti­cles of as­so­ci­a­tion.

During my consultation with Ms Brafit CEO Nicole Joseph-Chin, what was supposed to be a simple mastectomy bra fitting became something much deeper. Her thoughtful questions unlocked emotions I didn’t even realise I was holding in. She comforted, reassured, and helped me face the truth of what was coming. That bra wasn’t just clothing—it was the first real symbol of life after surgery.
