Who should be the next permanent head coach of the West Indies men’s team?

Andre Coley may well be the interim head coach of the West Indies men's team but all eyes are on who ends up as the permanent coach?

Machel jumped back into the hot seat to look at the runners and riders in the race to coach the West Indies men's side.

Should it be a West Indian?

Should it be an overseas coach?

Should the role be split?

Can West Indies afford to go all out on a top coach?

Why the changes to the West Indies Championship might be right thing to do

There I was minding my own business when Cricket West Indies put out a press release on Christmas Eve no less.

The 2023 West Indies Championship has been confirmed as a five round Championship with a brand new (best vs best) Headley-Weekes tri-series to follow.

There has predictably been some negative reaction to the announcement and there are undoubtedly some cons to the competition but there are pros that some may not have considered.

As ever there is always context that people need to think about when considering decisions made by Cricket West Indies.

Why Brandon King’s time is now

West Indies travel to Zimbabwe in January then South Africa in February.

Brandon King is one of the more obvious players on the outside looking in at the test squad. Is his time now?

Alas he is a victim of a West Indies domestic and international calendar that more often than not sees him on WI duty when our red ball season is in progress.

Machel has a look at why the selectors now need to think outside of the box.

Jason Holder: Should West Indies be worried?

Following the West Indies test series defeat in Australia some fans and media have started to question Jason Holder's place in the West Indies test side.

I'm used to the irrational, emotional rantings amongst West Indian fans but I had to look into the stats and facts to see if there was any logic to the vociferous complaints.
