Cricket West Indies (CWI) President Dr Kishore Shallow has been returned for a second consecutive term as well as his Vice President, Azim Bassarat.

They were both returned to their executive positions following CWI’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) on the weekend at the St. James Club in Antigua and Barbuda. Both were unopposed and will begin a new three-year term, effective immediately. In an unanimous vote, all regional territories supported Shallow, securing 12 votes, while Bassarath received the backing of four territories, amassing eight votes.

This marks the first three-year term under CWI’s recently implemented governance reform, which introduces term limits to enhance accountability and long-term sustainability. The AGM was attended by all member shareholders representing Barbados, Leeward Islands, Jamaica, Guyana, Windward Islands, and Trinidad & Tobago.

Dr Shallow, a Vincentian IT and business consultant, first took office in 2023 and has been at the forefront of transformational changes within CWI, focusing on governance modernization, high-performance development, and strengthening stakeholder engagement. Upon his confirmation, he expressed gratitude for the continued confidence placed in his leadership and reaffirmed his commitment to progress.

In his congratulatory message, Dr, Shallow said, “I am truly honoured by the trust shown in me to continue leading Cricket West Indies. This confidence suggests that the shareholders appreciate that there is a clear direction of progress—one that respects and values each and every stakeholder and promotes oneness in our approach. Critically, we must continue on this trajectory and build on the foundation. It’s a new day for Cricket West Indies, and together, we will push our cricket forward.”
