On December 6th 2024, Cricket West Indies will hold a meeting with Full Member shareholders to vote on implementing governance reforms recommended by the Wehby Report.
The session follows discussions at the Annual General Meeting on March 23rd 2024, which resulted in the approval of some recommendations.
However, CWI says the upcoming meeting will give shareholders the opportunity to again consider the highly anticipated proposals on the duration of the term of office of President and Vice President of the organisation, as well as the introduction of term limits.
CWI President Dr. Kishore Shallow highlighted the importance of the upcoming meeting, as he emphasized that the organization is fully committed to advancing the governance reform agenda.
He said, “The recommendations of the Wehby Report offer a clear pathway toward improving our governance framework, and this meeting provides an opportunity for our shareholders to collectively shape the future of West Indies cricket. We approach this process with a spirit of collaboration, transparency, and a shared commitment to building a more efficient and resilient organization.”
Commissioned in 2019, the Wehby Report recommended several critical reforms designed to strengthen the effectiveness, accountability, and transparency of CWI’s governance framework.
Key proposals included restructuring of the Board of Directors, enhancing stakeholder engagement, and modernizing operational practices to align with global best practices.
CWI says while some recommendations have been implemented, the process faced delays due to the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and the need for additional consultations.
