The Caricom Prime Ministerial Sub-Committee on Cricket is sounding the alarm on the state of West Indies cricket and is calling for bold, strategic reforms to rescue and revitalize the game across the region.

Noting that the current state of the game in the Caribbean, particularly test cricket, demands urgent attention, Guyanese Dr Mohamed Irfaan Ali, who chairs the sub-committee on cricket, has urged Cricket West Indies(CWI) to undertake a thorough and transparent review of its governance, leadership, management, economic models and development frameworks, underpinning the sport. 

Pointing to the concerns over youth development, talent retention, governance arrangements and long-term strategy, the body noted that it is deeply concerned about all aspects of the current state of the game in the region, particularly in the longest format. 
The other members of the sub-committee are Jamaica's prime minister Andrew Holness, Barbados prime minister Mia Mottley and  St Kitts and Nevis prime minister Dr Terrance Drew.
