(CWI PR) \u2013 President of Cricket West Indies (CWI), Dr. Kishore Shallow, led a delegation to Grenada for a courtesy call on Prime Minister Honourable Dickon Mitchell. This visit marks President Shallow\u2019s first official engagement with Prime Minister Mitchell following his recent unanimous re-election by all shareholder members for a new three-year term.<\/p>\n
Dr. Shallow was accompanied by CWI Chief Executive Officer Chris Dehring, who has been in the role for\u00a060 days, and Director of Cricket Miles Bascombe.

The series is expected to draw hundreds of Australian visitors, further boosting cricket\u2019s presence in the Caribbean.<\/p>\n
During the meeting, discussions centered on the continued collaboration between CWI and the Government of Grenada in developing cricket at all levels. A key highlight of the talks was the agreement to formalize a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) aimed at strengthening cricket infrastructure, grassroots programs, and opportunities for young players in Grenada.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Mitchell expressed,<\/p>\n

\n\u201cCricket is more than just a game for Grenadians. It is the one sport that has the power to bring people together for generations, and so we must invest in our young players starting from the primary school level.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nAcknowledging the commendable strides that Prime Minister Mitchell and the Government of Grenada have made in the sport, Dr. Shallow\u00a0stated,<\/p>\n
\n\u00a0\u201cThe conversation with Prime Minister Mitchell reaffirmed the shared commitment to nurturing young talent, enhancing infrastructure, and strengthening partnerships that will propel West Indies cricket forward. This collaboration holds great promise for the future of our cricket, and we look forward to the positive impact it will have on the region\u201d.<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\nCWI\u00a0remains\u00a0committed to working closely with all regional governments and stakeholders to enhance cricket\u2019s growth and global appeal.
