MANGESH KULKARNI: Amid the noise and the wickets, one subtle storyline emerged. This may have been one of Shai Hope’s strongest games as captain.

DAN DE VERTEUIL: Lara, I would argue, has the best case for his career being prematurely cut off as a batsman.
12.02.26Opinion
MANGESH KULKARNI: This was not just a group-stage win. This was a reminder that context matters, that preparation is rarely linear, and that moments like catches, overs, and partnerships still decide tournaments.
09.02.26Matchday
MANGESH KULKARNI: As the West Indies arrive in India for the T20 World Cup, their squad offers power, versatility, and experience. What it does not offer, however, is room for indecision.
02.02.26Opinion
MACHEL HEWITT: Conversations about Sammy's coaching credentials carry on at various volumes, but has anyone given him credit for the selection calls that have worked? Or better yet, has anyone asked why Hope and King were not playing Test cricket in the years before June 2025?

MACHEL HEWITT: Nicholas Pooran’s early retirement sets a precedent that individual wealth takes priority over international honours, foreshadowing a bleak future for West Indies cricket. If the next generation takes its cue from this icon, we should pack up now.
08.01.26Opinion
JOEL BAILEY: Recent performances have put Test captain and vice-captain Roston Chase and Jomel Warrican under the microscope
03.01.26Opinion
RORY SMITH: You could argue that the West Indies proves that nations and territories are stronger as a group than if each member went it alone, and while that may be true, at least the members play under a universal banner that resonates, unites, and speaks of a shared sporting history.
29.12.25Opinion
MANGESH KULKARNI: In conditions historically unforgiving to visiting sides, especially West Indian batting, the team did more than merely compete; they quietly overachieved.
27.12.25Opinion
MACHEL HEWITT: Justin Greaves’ time is now, and he is making the most of it.
21.12.25History
JOEL BAILEY: This is a moment for the history books, as Shallow will be the first active president of CWI to serve as a parliamentarian, let alone act as a member of government in his home territory.
08.12.25News
MACHEL HEWITT: As a collective, it is high time our region rejects insularity, levels up on emotional intelligence, and understands that approaches that worked in the 1970s and ‘80s are no longer relevant in 2025. They haven’t been relevant for decades.
03.12.25Opinion
JOEL BAILEY: Some might say the West Indies limited overs defeat in New Zealand was to be expected, while others might point out that they failed to capitalise on good opportunities to seize the initiative.
29.11.25Opinion
MACHEL HEWITT: Despite a litany of stats and achievements, some would turn their nose up at the suggestion that Hope is a great of the West Indies’ game.
27.11.25Features
MACHEL HEWITT: When was this mythical time that our domestic Super50 benefitted the West Indies men’s senior side? If the answer is ‘it didn’t’, then what are we really doing here?

Tawhid Qureshi takes us through the Bangladesh vs West Indies series through a journalist's eyes.
10.11.25Features
JOEL BAILEY: Given the two-year gap, you could have forgiven Akeal if he had been a bit rusty, but less than 24 hours after arriving in Bangladesh, he had earned the Player of the Match award.

VAID AMITTAI: The Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board are embroiled in a financial and political scandal that speaks to the decline of standards and accountability in West Indies Cricket.
30.10.25Opinion
MACHEL HEWITT: The old adage goes that West Indies don’t lack homegrown talent. Even if we take that to be true, we certainly don’t know how to harness it. So, while we work out how to solve that problem, should we not look further afield for talent that has been properly harnessed?
28.10.25Opinion
A gutsy performance in Delhi brought some welcome cheer but who were the real winners and losers in India?
25.10.25Opinion
MACHEL HEWITT: The adage goes that West Indies won’t get better without playing the best teams, but the stats show that after twenty-five years of playing the best teams, they have not got better. If anything, it has been a steady decline.
17.10.25Opinion
West Indies travel to Bangladesh to try and earn some much needed ODI ranking points
15.10.25News
SHASTRI SOOKDEO: Jomel Warrican (x2), Jayden Seales, and both Shamar and Alazarri Joseph have taken 5-wicket hauls in 2025, which means there have been more 5-wicket hauls (5) than fifties (4).
10.10.25Features
MACHEL HEWITT: All things told, a 2-1 T20 series defeat to Nepal was par for the course. While the prevailing narrative tried to paint the West Indies representative side as something akin to a full-strength T20 outfit, the reality was as far from that as possible.
