Cricket West Indies (CWI) president Ricky Skerritt urged West Indies fans yesterday, to help create “a winning spirit of passion and unity” ahead of the ICC Twenty20 Cricket World Cup from October 17 to November 14 in the United Arab Emirates and Oman.
CWI and its selection panel have faced stinging criticism from the man in the street to heads of government about the selection of the Windies 15-member squad for the T20 World Cup.
But Skerritt appealed to fans to throw their support behind the squad in the face of a global battle, as Kieron Pollard’s side tries to win an unprecedented third T20 World Cup title.
