With the announcement of Shai Hope and Rovman Powell as ODI and T20 captains respectively. Machel Hewitt analyses whether this really means anything in the long run?

With West Indies due to take part in the ODI World Cup qualifiers in June is this no more than a poisoned chalice for Shai Hope?

Rovman Powell has longer before the home T20 World Cup but how much does his fortunes and that of the T20 side depend on selectors and CWI listening to the independent report that was recently commissioned?

Last month the fixtures for the Men's T20 World Cup were released.

However to all intents and purposes the fixtures, locations of teams and timings all looked like backroom deals rather than any real draw.

Machel took a look at the fixtures and analysed whether the ICC know how to run a World Cup in its truest sense?

NB: *After this episode was recorded we received news from Cricket West Indies that some games were moving to 830pm (Caribbean time)*

Say the name Lawrence 'Yagga' Rowe and West Indians of a certain vintage will regale you with tales of his graceful stroke play and of course the 302 in 1974.

However when Lawrence Rowe captained the two rebel tours to apartheid South Africa few would imagine that in 2024 he would still not have been forgiven by the Jamaican government.

In a Caribbean Cricket Podcast history episode we look at the legacy of Lawrence Rowe.

Machel chairs a round table discussion including Basil Butcher Jr, author of The Unforgiven Ashley Gray and former CEO of the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup, Chris Dehring.

Is it time to pardon Lawrence Rowe?

The final podcast before the start of the three-match #raisethebat series between England and West Indies.

@nikuttam joins us again to assess the state of the play after the two West Indies intra-squad warm up games. We dissect then select our XI for the first test.

We also take time to pay tribute to the great Everton Weekes and critique the furore over Conde Riley's attempts to get Phil Simmons sacked.

We even have time to review Chris Gayle's dancehall debut 😊.
