February 28, 2007

The race to put the finishing touches to the most complex cricket tournament ever staged is in full flow across the Caribbean.With just under two weeks before the tournament commences, there is an optimism in Government, and a fervour from the people of the islands, that this will be the greatest cricket World Cup ever staged. Certainly, it has taken a sporting event of this magnitude, and the common thread of West Indies cricket, to overcome traditional inter-island rivalries in commerce, tourism and development.

Politically within Caricom – the Caribbean community grouping in commerce, law and society – there is the belief that the legacy will be long-lasting and profitable. The reality may be that the wealth of legacies will differ from island to island.

Without doubt, this is the most logistically challenging – and expensive – cricket World Cup. Sixty-seven matches will be played over 54 days, at 12 venues, in nine countries: Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Antigua, Grenada, St Lucia, St Vincent and St Kitts & Nevis.
