A stakeholders’ meeting next March is expected to see the creation of a new governing structure for the West Indies Cricket Board, one which authorities hope will streamline the smooth running of the game in the region.

This was the main development coming out of the 15th meeting of CARICOM’s Prime Ministerial Sub-Committee on Cricket staged here Wednesday under new chairman, Antigua and Barbuda’s Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer.

Spencer, who has replaced former Grenada prime minister Keith Mitchell after a four-year stint, said the new governing structure would be fleshed out after the Governance Committee’s report and the West Indies Cricket Board’s Draft Strategic Plan were both evaluated.

“Out of that (meeting) will come hopefully an understanding as to how we are going to proceed with the creation of a new governance structure for the West Indies Cricket Board and in the meantime the expectation is that the Prime Ministerial Sub-Committee will meet at least once to receive a report from the president of the WICB,” Spencer said following the meeting.

“The hope is that this mechanism will be formalised to the extent where you may even have a structure that calls for two meetings of the Prime Ministerial Sub-Committee annually but at least one will be held at which the president of the West Indies Cricket Board will report to the Prime Ministerial Sub-Committee.”

Spencer said in reviewing the Governance Report and the WICB’s Draft Strategic Plan on Wednesday, the meeting had found “areas of agreement” between the two but governance remained the key point of discussion going forward.
