Cricket West Indies (CWI) has called an emergency meeting of its Cricket Strategy Committee and invited Clive Lloyd, Viv Richards and Brian Lara for inputs. The decision follows West Indies team's humiliating capitulation, for 27 runs, in the day-night Test against Australia in Jamaica on Tuesday.

"As an immediate step, I have advised the Chair of the Cricket Strategy and Officiating Committee to convene an emergency meeting to review the recent Test series against Australia, particularly the final match," CWI president Dr Kishore Shallow said in a statement.

"To strengthen the discussions, I have extended invitations to three of our greatest batsmen ever: Sir Clive Lloyd, Sir Vivian Richards, and Brian Lara. They will join past greats Dr. Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Dr. The Most Honourable Desmond Haynes, Ian Bradshaw, who already serve on the committee."

The CWI move comes in the midst of heavy criticism of the CWI functioning. "Board members pay themselves what they want, select players based on personal loyalty rather than merit, and treat national team results as irrelevant. Whether we win, lose, or are completely humiliated on the international stage, the outcome is the same: they stay in power," Dinanath Ramnarine, a former West Indies spinner, wrote in a signed article posted on his social media handle.

"And when the public dares to ask: "Where is the plan?" the answer is often a hastily stitched-together program meant to score headlines, not results. There is no proper, well-thought-out development plan. No long-term structure. No sustainable systems. Just tokenism, PR, and smoke screens. It's not progress-they're just buying time.
