Mottley’s Call: West Indies Cricket Needs Unity, Strong Leadership
Prime Minister Mia Mottley of Barbados has issued a clarion call for regional unity and strong governance within West Indies cricket. Her impassioned plea, delivered on Saturday, July 12, 2025, aims to revitalize the sport and return it to its former glory on the global stage.
Mottley stressed the urgent need for collaborative efforts across the Caribbean islands. She highlighted the importance of a unified vision and strategy to overcome the challenges currently facing West Indies cricket.
The Prime Minister emphasized the critical role of strong leadership and accountability within the cricketing administration. Effective governance, she argued, is paramount for attracting investment and fostering talent.
This renewed focus on unity and strong governance is seen as crucial to restoring the West Indies’ dominance in international cricket. The call comes at a time when the region’s teams are struggling to compete at the highest level.
The success of this initiative will have significant implications not only for the sport but also for regional pride and economic development. A resurgence of West Indies cricket could boost tourism and inspire a new generation of talented players.
