He prompted a statement by the President of the Cricket Antilles, Kishore Shallow on Tuesday, who said: “As an immediate measure, I advised the president of the Cricket strategy and the committee that has convened an emergency meeting to review the recent series of tests against Australia, in particular the final match.
“To strengthen the discussions, I extended the invitations to three of our biggest drummers of all time: Sir Clive Lloyd, Sir Vivian Richards and Brian Lara.
“They will join the big big Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Desmond Haynes and Ian Bradshaw, who are already used for the committee.”
Shallow’s declaration added: “This commitment is not ceremonial. They are men who helped define our golden times.
“Their prospects will be invaluable while we are shaping the next phase of our cricket development. We intend that this gathering causes tangible and exploitable recommendations.”
Shallow recognized that the result of the series and especially the final match would lead to many “nights to come” for fans and players, but have urged patience when they continue to rebuild the team.
“Although disappointment is natural, we must not allow this moment to define our trip,” he said.
“We are in a reconstruction phase, investing regularly in the next generation and reviving the spirit that has long since made the Cricket Antilles around the world.
“The coming road will test us, but I have confidence in the talent and commitment of our players when they apply.”
The Antilles were once the main lights of test cricket in the 1970s and 1980s, but they have since experienced a period of decline and are currently ranking eighth in the 12 teams in the world ranking.
They have struggled to align a coherent test team in recent years with several players by often prioritizing lucrative franchise cricket in the longest format.
They then face India during a visit to two tests from the subcontinent in October.
