For the first time ever, Cricket West Indies has awarded multi-year contracts to several of its top Men’s and Women’s players for the next two years.

This comes on the back of a new four-year MOU signed in January 2024 between CWI and the West Indies Players Association.

15 Senior Men’s players have been contracted, of which six have been offered multi-year contracts based on their performances during the 2023-2024 Evaluation Period.

The contracted pool remains relatively stable, with only two changes: Kavem Hodge receives his first ever international contract, along with Roston Chase.

WI Men’s players awarded multi-year international contracts are:

1. Shai Hope
2. Alzarri Joseph
3. Shamar Joseph
4. Brandon King
5. Gudakesh Motie
6. Jayden Seales

WI Men’s players awarded one-year international contracts are:

1. Alick Athanaze
2. Kraigg Brathwaite
3. Keacy Carty

7. Akeal Hosein
8. Romario Shepherd
9. Rovman Powell

Of the 15 Senior Women’s players contracted, three were awarded multi-year contracts.

CWI says while this pool has maintained consistency, several players have shifted grades within the contracted group annually.

WI Women’s players awarded multi-year international contracts are:

1. Shemaine Campbelle
2. Hayley Matthews
3. Stafanie Taylor

WI Women’s players awarded one-year international contracts are:

7. Zaida James
8. Qiana Joseph
9. Ashmini Munisar
10. Chedean Nation
11. Karishma Ramharack

The contract period runs from October 1st 2024 to September 30th 2025 for the players on a one-year contract, while for the multi-year awarded players, their contracts are from October 1st 2024 to September 30th 2026.
