Forget the Swiss Alps and exotic Thai beaches. The next holiday season belongs to the Caribbean. A heady mix of cricket, steel drums and Angosturas is set to keep travel buffs and cricket fans in good spirits. And the travel industry is all set to cash in.

Starting January 15 right up to May 15 (the end of ICC Cricket World Cup 2007), the nine CARICOM (Caribbean Community) host countries – Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St Kitts & Nevis, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad & Tobago – along with Dominica are launching a six-month, multiple entry visa into the single domestic space created by the governments to facilitate seamless travel within the region for the World Cup.

West Indies Cricket Needs Strategic Plan

By Daniel Singh – January 05, 2007

Any discussion on the future of cricket must take into consideration, among other things, the origin and causes of its decline in the first place, as well as what are the present circumstances that are leading to continuing poor performances of the team.

There is no single cause for the continuing decline of West Indies cricket over the years and, similarly, there can be no universal panacea that will bring about a revival of the game in the region and, hence, the team’s performances.

There are many issues that have been raised from time to time, and which have been posited as reasons for causing the decline in West Indies cricket. These include leadership problems, lack of proper coaching programmes, declining regional and local cricket standards, and certainly not the least, inadequate finances.
