The Cricket West Indies on Tuesday invited former greats of the game Clive Lloyd, Vivian Richards and Brian Lara to strengthen discussions on how to revive cricket in the Caribbean, following the team’s abject surrender in a 0-3 Test series whitewash at home against Australia.
Australia won the third Test by 176 runs, riding on Mitchell Starc’s 6-9 and Scott Boland’s hat-trick to dismiss the West Indies for 27 — the second-lowest total ever in Test cricket after New Zealand’s 26 against England in 1955.
“I have extended invitations to three of our greatest batsmen ever: Sir Clive Lloyd, Sir Vivian Richards, and Brian Lara,” president of CWI, Kishore Shallow said in a statement.
“This engagement is not ceremonial. These are men who helped define our golden eras, and their perspectives will be invaluable as we shape the next phase of our cricket development. We intend for this gathering to result in tangible, actionable recommendations,” the statement read.
