We look forward to the third staging of the NAGICO Super50 with

our inaugural expanded season of 27 matches over 18 days hosted in Trinidad and Tobago and St. Kitts-Nevis. I am pleased that the region will again see the best of our one-day players competing against each other as we maintain our focus to grow the sport of cricket.

Our Brand, WINDIES, continues to be under the spotlight. The opportunities are now presenting itself for us as a region and each of us in the respective territories to do our parts to maintain, sustain and improve the current status of cricket in the region and internationally.

Let us not under-estimate the value of cricket in the region. It is the quality and strength of cricket here that will make or break the WINDIES teams – men’s and women’s. There is a full schedule of cricket for 2016 in all formats and we remain optimistic, that with some of the structural adjustments, our rankings will improve over time. It is now more than ever that the stakeholders must be committed in their efforts to develop the emerging talent. Their continued

efforts to advance the professionalization of cricket, providing the necessary infrastructure and fine tuning individual skills will enable us to produce national and international level cricketers. We must also focus on the administration of the game including our coaching development in order to make the transition to being a world class team.

We have the World T20 coming up in March in India, and we will host an international one-day tri-nation series with South Africa and Australia and India in test matches in the summer. We know the team will be competitive.

“West Indies cricket will flourish and bring enjoyment and pride to this Caribbean region when cricket at the grassroots level is strong”

A big thanks to NAGICO, a strong and respected brand, for sponsoring this important event in the WICB calendar and their support demonstrates their continued passion and love of the game. The 2016 NAGICO Super50 will be a great benefit to West Indies cricket’s one-day format and the continued development of the game in the region.

Could not end without saying congrats to our women’s team, but more so Ms. Stafanie Taylor who continues to top the rankings. We continue to be proud of her achievements.

As we look forward to what will no doubt be an exciting tournament, good luck to the teams competing and may the best team emerge victorious.

One love

Complete rebuilding by its own definition is a process that is not in keeping with sports, however it is a necessary tool sporting

organisations like the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) must use

ӹ To develop new standards

ӹ To refresh models of operation

ӹ To engender models for economic growth

ӹ To develop interactive tools in order to engage a wide cross section of fans

◊ Those fans you have and those you wish to come on board

As the WICB is always looking at ways to rebuild its programme and we are clear on a few things. Rebuilding requires open-mindedness, a team of people with the same goals and a leader who is brave enough to institute the change.

There are some key success factors we have to be clear on as we rely on all our stakeholders. We must

ӹ Broaden cooperation in West Indies cricket through greater involvement of the Territorial Boards

ӹ Streamline our financial position through stricter fiscal management and attracting wider sponsor partners

ӹ Create and widen the scope for a better relationship with our athletes/players

Although the ICC would recognize this organisation as 90 in May this yea, my team and I are aware of the challenges we face on a daily basis to exist in a dynamic global sporting world. We are aware that sport, being such a big business and with cricket to return to being the top sporting industry in the Caribbean, we must institute some adjustments.

The NAGICO Super50 is among a number of tournaments we collaborate with our partners to host in the Caribbean and it forms part of a suite of events we have to rebuild the cricket programme. We welcome all the teams, fans and business partners on board. We look forward to the region recapturing the essence of West Indies cricket in very short order.

We anticipate a favourable experience for all.

The Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board is pleased to welcome cricket fans to the

first major regional cricket tournament of the new year when the leading cricketers in the Caribbean engage in the third NAGICO Super50 which will be staged at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port-of-Spain, and Warner Park in St Kitts and Nevis.

Trinidad and Tobago are the defending champions and playing at home will be difficult to beat but we expect the challenge from the other regional teams to be very competitive as the hosts press for a rare “double” and bragging rights.

We at the TTCB wish to record our appreciation of the support of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for giving us the opportunity to stage the tournament for the past three years.

And we are especially thankful for the sponsorship of NAGICO Insurances who have displayed their corporate responsibility and love of the game of cricket while giving our regional stars a platform to display their talent.

Once again ESPN, the American sports cable television channel will broadcast the entire tournament “live” and will be seen throughout the world which will provide invaluable exposure for the game and our beautiful islands.

We are painfully aware of the challenges that West Indies cricket has been facing. However, the TTCB is satisfied that everything is being done to provide the region’s cricketers, both male and female, with the tools necessary to realise their fullest potential locally, regionally and internationally.

We believe that the NAGICO Super50 is testament to the effort being put into regional cricket so that the game can be elevated once more to the lofty heights it once occupied not so long ago.

Indeed, West Indies were crowned ICC T20 World Champions in 2012, following up their triumphs in the first two ICC World Cups in 1975 and 1979; and the ICC Champions League in 2004.

Despite the present struggles of the regional team on the international circuit,

West Indies cricket continues to enjoy brand recognition throughout the world, and we can expect fans from the entire Caribbean and elsewhere to converge on the Oval to witness the two-week festival.

The visitors are especially welcomed to enjoy our unique hospitality, culture, food and natural beauty while contributing to our gross domestic product by patronising our hotels, eating local dishes and dining out at our frenetic night-spots after the matches.

And last and but not least, we extend our embrace to the region’s players and the officials who will keep us entranced during the ensuing days with their actions on the field. We wish them all well and look forward to an exciting NAGICO Super50.

On behalf of the Government of St Kitts & Nevis, it is my pleasure to welcome all participants to the

2016 NAGICO Super50 tournament. We are pleased to be hosting Zone B of this regional 50-overs championship at our Warner Park Stadium and St Paul’s Ground from January 7 – 17.

I wish to express my gratitude to the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for having shown confidence in selecting St Kitts as a host venue. My Government understand the importance of cricket to our region and have been working behind the scenes to ensure that the required structures are implemented to aid the overall development of the sport in St Kitts and Nevis.

The amount of planning that goes into staging such a tournament is immense. Special

Message from theDEPUTY PRIME MINISTER, MINISTER OF YOUTH, EDUCATION, SPORTS AND CULTURE, ST KITTS AND NEVIS

mention must be made of the St Kitts Cricket Association, Department of Sport and the many volunteers who play an integral role of the staging of this prestigious event. We rely on their enthusiasm, commitment and dedication. We thank them for selfishly contributing their time and expertise.

I trust that every participant in the NAGICO Super50 will enjoy the competition, the warmth of the Kittitians and Nevisians and take home with them fond memories of another successful event in our Federation.

Let me wish you all a great experience and good luck in your competition.

When Stafanie Taylor steps on to the cricket field, the first aim is to score runs – lots of big runs. Job number two is to get some wickets – lots of wickets when she has the ball in hand. But there’s a tougher more demanding mission – and it’s a mission this outstanding cricketer has willingly accepted.

“I’m an all-rounder that obviously means my role in the team is to make runs and get wickets ... I’m captain now and that is added responsibility,” Taylor said.

“I’m loving every moment of it so far. I was delighted when I was offered the job and we did really well as a team against Pakistan in the home series. It’s added motivation.

“Leadership is major responsibility. You’re not only responsible for your own performance but those of others around you. My mission is to take us to the Number One position in world cricket.

“We started from the bottom and we have made huge improvements in the time I have been in the team. We have some great, young players and I know we have what it takes to reach the top.”

The West Indies were outstanding in 2015 and want to carry that form into 2016. Last May, they beat Sri Lanka way from home and then dominated Pakistan in the home series.

They will tour South Africa in January and February before heading off to India in March for the International Cricket Council’s World T20 Tournament.

The 24-year-old is the leading all-rounder in the game and had this

status confirmed when she was voted ICC Women’s T20I Player of the Year for 2014-2015.

She believes winning the award will serve as the perfect incentive especially with key tours ahead next year.

“It came as a major surprise. I wasn’t expecting to win the award but I’m thrilled. I’m delighted to be the winner again as I wasn’t expecting to win,” Taylor said.

“Winning an award is an added motivation to do better. It’s great to win awards but my aim is to get better, do better for the team and try to lift West Indies cricket. We were dominant in our two series this year against Sri Lanka and against Pakistan and that is something to build on.

“Next year we will face South Africa and then onto India for the ICC World T20. Those are two ‘big’ series and I am fully geared up for what is to come.”

She continued: “We will have a very good record in world tournaments. We reached the World Cup Final (50 overs) in India a few years ago when we came close to winning. We have reached the T20 semis on a few occasions [2010 In Caribbean, 2012 in Sri Lanka, 2014 in Bangladesh] so we are pushing hard to go all the way this time. We have the players to do it and we believe in each other.”

In an outstanding career, she has become the most successful West Indian women’s cricketer of all time. In 88 ODIs she had scored 3,376 runs and has carved out another 1,874 in 65 T20 Internationals. She is also a clever off-spinner and had taken 108 wickets in ODIs and 56 in T20s.

She is surrounded by several other world-rated all-rounders including Deandra Dottin, Hayley Matthews, Stacy-Ann King, Shanel Daley and Shaquana Quintyne. The batting is well fortified with twin sisters Kycia and Kyshona Knight and former captain Merissa Aguilleira, while the bowling features Anisa Mohammed, Tremayne Smartt, Shakira Selman, and the express pace of Shamilia Connell.

“My advice to the team is ‘let’s go and do this’. We know we can but we want to show we can. If we continue to pull together and play together we can be unstoppable. My mission is to lead us to that next level. The time is right for us to win something ‘big’ for the people of the West Indies.”

STAFANIE WANTS TO TAKE WINDIES TOP OF THE WORLD

“Winning an award is an added motivation to do better. It’s great to win awards but my aim is to get better,

do better for the team and try to lift

West Indies cricket.”



The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has approved the selection a 20-woman squad to participate in a camp to prepare for a tour of South Africa for

the ICC International Women’s Championship and then on to India for the ICC T20 World Championship.

The Championship in South Africa will be from February 19 to March 9; they will have a day for travel and will be in India from March 10 – April 3.

Captain and ICC T20 player for 2015, Stafanie Taylor is among that list. She will be accompanied by Shakera Selman, Merissa Aguilleira, Shemaine Campbelle, Shamilia Connell, Britney Cooper, Deandra Dottin, Afy Fletcher, Stacy-Ann King, Kycia Knight, Kyshona Knight, Hayley Matthews, Anisa Mohammed,

Shaquana Quintyne, Tremayne Smartt, Leean Kirby, Natasha McLean, Chedean Nation, Kraishma Ramharack and Vanessa Watts.

The women have been assembled from Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago.

The camp will be comprehensive and will include on and off the field activities. These range from team building sessions, mental skills workshop and the physical preparation.

The management team due for the upcoming tours are:

Manager - Gertrude Ann Browne-John

Coach – Vasbert Drakes

Assistant Coach – Ezra Moseley

Data Manager – Trent Sargeant

Strength & Conditioning trainer – Hector Martinez-Charles

Physiotherapist – Oba Gulston

WI WOMEN PREPARE FOR TWO KEY TOURS


Th e r e i s j u s t t o o much negativity and pessimism around

the world at the moment about the state of West Indies cricket. Recent performances in Sri Lanka, Australia and even earlier during the last ICC Cricket World Cup have given scribes a lot to write home about and generally seek to attempt to drive nails into the coffins of our cricket in the West Indies.

LINE AND LENGTH

By Barry A. Wilkinson


Having said all of that, there must be something special about our Game, our brand and indeed our territory, when two of the best One Day International teams currently and historically can agree to a tri-nation series in the middle of a hectic summer.

For Australia and South Africa to come to the region is a coup at this stage of our game, which is going through a certain, but steady rebuilding period.

The brand of West Indies cricket has been built upon an extremely strong legacy which is still a subliminal, marketing tool for the promotion of cricket among the islands.

However, managing all three formats (Test, ODI and T20) have presented a challenge for West Indies cricket and understandably so. The resources in this part of the world don’t flow like they do in the bigger territories.

But our legacy remains such a major component to the overall scheme of World Cricket that the other teams, commentators and even fans want to see West Indies cricket strong again.

So this is why Australia and South Africa understand there is still a great deal to be gained from playing such a huge ODI series at this stage of our cricket, which admittedly is not as strong as it used to be.

The scribes though have lacked proper analysis as to why there has been this decline. The current Test team is made up of 70% of players that passed through the Sagicor High Performance Centre, which is now no more.

If you look around every territory, even now in Bangladesh, there is a nursery for cricketers to move onto the next phase of cricket, but due to lack of funding and sponsorships we have not been as fortunate in recent times.

The success of the West Indies Cricket Board’s Professional League is a step in the right direction, but a nursery is the ideal form to develop our cricketers, who unlike the Desmond Haynes, Ian Bishop and Joel Garner of this world, would’ve used County

Cricket in England to hone their international skills before wearing the maroon cap.

There need not be a sense of pessimism.

Developments from investors overseas have given West Indies cricket some new interest, with the NAGICO SUPER 50 being shown on ESPN International and the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) both bringing exposure to younger players.

Television producer of the NAGICO Super 50, Australian Peter Steep has continually made the point to our crew of commentators that events such as this only build the game for people around the World to see there is still a sense of great competition.

So give it two to three years. Let the money come in and the redevelopment will truly start as another Academy is funded and constructed to nourish the talent from the WICB PCL, the NAGICO Super 50 and the same CPL.

Money doesn’t answer all things, but it is crucial for some.

Australia and South Africa have obviously seen the bigger picture and they know the game in the West Indies will rise again.

The Hero Caribbean Premier League has announced a number of changes to its

player draft format for 2016 which will once again see some of the world’s greatest T20 players join the “Biggest Party in Sport”.

The new rules have allowed the six franchise teams to sign one “marquee” player as a free agent before the draft process begins. Over the last two months the teams have been in negotiations with the best players in world cricket and will be announcing their marquee stars in the first few weeks of the New Year.

The number of players that the franchises can retain before the player draft has been reduced from four to three whilst the squad size increases from 16 to 17 for the new season.

Further changes to the rules include the number of players who must live in the franchise territory being reduced from four to two, whilst the limit on overseas players has increased from four to five. 2015 also saw the introduction of ICC Americas players, with two being selected for the Tridents and Patriots squads. In 2016, at least six ICC Americas players will be guaranteed a contract.

Overall the salary cap for each team has increased to US$780k from US$600k.

Commenting on the changes to the format, Tom Moody, International Director of Cricket for CPL said; “Our aim each year is to make CPL even bigger and better so that we can attract the best

T20 players in the world and make it as entertaining as possible for the fans.

Over the past few months we’ve worked alongside the franchise owners to make sure that the 2016 player draft is open and competitive so that the buzz and excitement of CPL will start building from January right through to the tournament launch in the summer.

From early January 2016 we’ll start to reveal the franchise marquee players and the retained players so that by the time the draft comes around in February fans will already have plenty to talk about.”

The 2016 Hero CPL Player Draft will take place in February 2016 with further announcements due in the coming weeks.

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and UNICEF re-established its partnership

in Kingston, Jamaica recently when they launched the training of trainers’ workshop on Wednesday 2nd December 2015 for child protection in youth cricket programmes. The programme is under the Fair Play Initiative and is part of an MOU signed by the WICB and UNICEF Jamaica.

The programme seeks to make Physical Education specialists and coaches around the region more aware of what is required of our cricket coaches and wider cricket communities on the subject of child protection and abuse, in fifteen (15) countries across the region.

Project Officer KJ Singh, in reiterating the WICB’s position said “…in the 2015-2017 strategic plan to strengthen youth development cricket in the WICB member

territories, the revamp of the region’s schools’ cricket and coaching education programmes are two areas high on the agenda. The plan between the 2015-2017 periods is focused on restoring and increasing the contact time of cricket in our primary and secondary school systems, and we are cognizant that this will in turn demand an increased number of qualified coaches who can effectively administer the game in a fun, safe and abuse-free environment.”

In Jamaica, the partnering agencies involved with the rollout of the initiative’s parish based workshops are the Child Development Agency (CDA), the Social Development Commission (SDC) and the Jamaica Cricket Association.

The training, aimed at just under 400 participants in Jamaica will start in February 2016. The participants will come

from primary and prep schools across the 14 parishes.

The countries being impacted from the Fair Play Initiative regionally include Guyana, Barbados, Trinidad & Tobago, St. Vincent & the Grenadines, Grenada, St. Lucia, Dominica, St. Kitts & Nevis, Antigua & Barbuda, Anguilla, St. Maarten, Montserrat, US Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands.

To date, 627 physical education officers and school volunteers across the 15 countries mentioned above have been trained as part of the Fair Play child protection initiative, through workshops and material (Fair Play Manual, Fair Play Brochure and Fair Play Training Video) on child protection geared toward cricket coaches


December 2015 - With the increas ed demand for information regarding the

value of cricket events to the Caribbean economy, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) commissioned an economic impact evaluation on the 2015 England tour of the Caribbean. The information garnered focused on the three islands where the Test Matches were hosted Antigua, Barbados and Grenada.

Following a comprehensive report done by REPUCOM, the figures show the positive impact the tour had on the host islands. The overall direct economic impact for the region was estimated at US$59.8 million at an average of US$5.1 million a day spend.

The tour attracted 34.3 per cent visitors (15,660) of the overall 45,640 spectators who attended the games. The

report also highlighted that the direct economic impact of spectator spend was US$50.1 million. Antigua boasts the highest economic impact estimated at US$22 million, followed by Grenada with US$21.9 million and Barbados US$19.5 million. The Barbados game although ending in three days had the highest spend with an estimated US$6.5 million a day. There was an average media value of $10 million per island which was

generated by a cumulative audience of over 3.64 million viewers.

Grenada reported the highest total spend by spectators, largely due to the highest accommodation revenue generated, the report stated; while Antigua reported the highest return on areas like ticketing, sponsorship and broadcasting. Notes in the report suggested that this was due to the fact that the WICB secretariat is based in Antigua.

The series which was drawn was a positive result for the home team with an exciting draw in game one in Antigua; in the second, England won by nine wickets, but home team won by five wickets in game three in Barbados in a three-day encounter.

The evaluation was done on five specific areas to include economic impact, social impact, event experience, sponsorship and media impact. Some of the general feedback from the other areas suggest there is a recall of test sponsors; while socially 50 per cent of the parents said they were inspired enough to encourage their children to play cricket. As a destination the three host countries were given a 77.6 per cent ‘very good’ rating for the hosting of the games.

Reacting to the evaluation, WICB Chief Executive Officer, Michael Muirhead stated “the report underscores the point we have consistently made that hosting events in the region has a positive outcome. We are always making every effort to improve the product. The drawn series was also a factor and fans for the last game were given a treat.”

Fans around the three islands were happy for the tour and noted that “the series showcased the countries, created a buzz and can be a catalyst to increasing tourism arrivals.”

As the regional tournaments continue with the continuation of the Professional

Cricket League (PCL) and the upcoming NAGICO Super 50, the CEO noted, “we are committed to increasing the amount of cricket being played in the region showcasing our best talent in the game.”

The next international series is scheduled for June 6 – 26, 2016 and will feature home team along with South Africa and Australia in a One Day International (ODI) Tri Series.

I started way back in 1978 as a teenager doing local cricket in Barbados and regionally I began

in 1980 and did my first test match at the tender age of 21…West Indies versus India.

My top three moments were 1. Describing Courtney Walsh break the

world record at Sabina Park, Kingston in March 2000

2. Watching Brian Lara mastermind the West Indies win over Australia at Kensington Oval in 1999 where his 153 was the best innings I ever saw

3. Putting young Jamaican, Ricardo Chambers as a 12-year-old to do

commentary at Sabina Park. The way he described the first ball, Sabina Park erupted and to see him continue to grow into a good commentator warms my heart

My favourite analyst, well, I like Ian Bishop; he is professional, balanced and has a good sense of humour. I am pleased to see how quickly he has risen to be one of the best in the world. Ian also always has time to do interviews on stations across the region.

I am always happy to mentor upcoming broadcasters. I have always felt there should be training programmes. I did a training session in Guyana some

time ago and was surprised at the interest shown by the younger participants. There has not been a follow up and I can be available to continue those programmes.

I am looking forward to cricket in the West Indies from 2016 and beyond. We the people in the region are hoping for a turnaround. It is slow in coming, but we will get there. I also want more cricket on radio. I am disappointed that we had no radio broadcast/commentary for the West Indies tour of Australia that just ended. I am suggesting we ensure cricket returns to radio in a more comprehensive way.

The role of the Player Relations Officer (PRO) over the past five years has been the first point of

consultation for West Indies players’ personal and professional development and welfare. With the development of the Player Lifestyle Development Programme (PLD), the PRO services has been extended to the regions national youth and women’s cricketers, their parents and the regions’ first class teams.

The PLD Programme was developed with the ultimate goal of the West Indies not only producing great cricketers but well-balanced individuals that are prepared for life through player development support beyond the boundary, enhancing their life balance and overall well being.

The PLD Programme has educated and exposed players to topics and services such as but not limited to:

1. Emotional Intelligence

2. Introduction to Self Awareness/ What does it mean to be a Ambassador

3. Effective Public Speaking and Presentation Skills

4. Interpersonal and Communication Skills

5. Leadership

6. S t r e s s M a n a g e m e n t / T i m e Management

7. Sport Nutrition

8. Goal Setting

9. Media Training

10. Career Guidance.

With WICB’s new approach and philosophy going forward being one of research, innovation and consistency

with evidence-based practices, this has led to the Player Relations Officer responsibilities expanding in an exciting direction with involvement in the development and coordination of the WICB High Performance Programme (HPP).

The High Performance Programme will target the region’s elite age group cricketers through an elite pathway, all the way through to the respective West Indies teams; it will also target high performance staff that would be working with the players involved in the programme; ie coaches, physios, trainers, sport doctors, sport performance & psychology coaches, sport nutritionists etc.

The methodology of the HPP identifies, integrates and sequences unique training disciplines. This includes disciplines such as but not limited to Physical Conditioning, Sport Medicine Support, Mental Skills, Technical Cricket Skills, Leadership, Nutrition and Life Skills. It is a methodology that is athlete-centered and coach-driven, ensuring that athletic training is both cricket-specific and tailored to individual needs.

WICB wants to ensure that the HPP can be benchmarked against the excellence of other global elite athlete programmes, and as such, has teamed up the internationally renowned IMG Academy. IMG was engaged to design the Mental Skills HPP/curriculum, which was not only successfully completed but seven of the region’s finest Sport Performance & Psychology coaches were trained per the curriculum in September 2015. The HP Mental Skills programme has already begun its roll out throughout the region.

Due to the successful partnership of the Mental Skills programme design and delivery, WICB is currently in discussions with IMG to broaden its consultancy work with the organization, placing focus on the other disciplines of the high performance methodology and with the goal of programme delivery and roll out in the first half of 2016. The WICB understands that it is important that it strives to be a world leader in the all-round development of its elite cricketers if it is to achieve its vision of becoming number one in the world in all formats; the WICB High Performance Programme is an essential step in getting there.
