    Do We Need Another Stanford? CWI’s Annual Report Suggests We May | PowettPlay Podcast
    Mar 24 2026
    In this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and Kieran Powell deliver a hard-hitting analysis of the latest financial report released by Cricket West Indies unpacking what it reveals about the current state and future of Caribbean cricket. The discussion dives deep into what appears to be an unsustainable financial model, where soaring operational costs and escalating player salaries are outpacing revenue streams. Jordan and Kieran explore how this imbalance is leaving minimal investment for grassroots development, raising serious concerns about the long-term health of the game in the region. A key theme throughout the episode is the lack of transparency surrounding commercial partnerships. The hosts question whether Cricket West Indies is maximizing its earning potential and argue that a more modern, business-driven approach is urgently needed. They suggest that outsourcing certain operations and overhauling governance structures could be critical steps toward financial stability. The conversation also looks outward, highlighting missed opportunities in global markets. With cricket’s growing popularity in Asia, particularly in Bangladesh, the hosts stress the importance of leveraging digital analytics and audience data to unlock new sponsorship deals and revenue streams. Ultimately, this episode paints a sobering picture of a governing body at a crossroads. Without decisive action, Cricket West Indies risks a talent “brain drain,” as players increasingly turn to the financial security offered by global T20 franchises. If you're passionate about the future of West Indies cricket, sports governance, or the business of the modern game, this is an essential listen. #CricketWestIndies #CaribbeanCricket #CricketGovernance #T20Franchises #SportsFinance #CricketPodcast #WestIndiesCricket #CricketAnalysis #PlayerSalaries #GrassrootsCricket #CricketBusiness #SportsBusiness #DigitalAnalytics #CricketStrategy #GlobalCricket #Cricket #CricketLife #CricketLove #CricketFans #CricketWorld #CricketGame #InstaCricket #CricketLovers #CricketSeason #CricketMatch #CricketUpdates #CricketNews #CricketVibes #PlayCricket #LoveCricket #CricketCommunity #CricketPassion #CricketCulture Learn more about your ad choices.

    I’m a celebrity get me out of here West Indies edition! We demand accountability! PowettPlay Podcast
    Mar 12 2026
    In this powerful and hard-hitting episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and Kieran Powell examine the alarming situation surrounding the West Indies cricket team following their exit from the ICC Cricket World Cup in India. After the tournament, several West Indies players were reportedly left stranded for more than ten days amid regional conflict and widespread flight cancellations, raising serious questions about player welfare, duty of care, and crisis management in international cricket. Jordan and Kieran contrast this troubling situation with the swift response from the England and Wales Cricket Board, which chartered private transport to ensure the safe and timely return of England cricket team players. The comparison highlights what the hosts describe as a disturbing lack of support and leadership from Cricket West Indies and the International Cricket Council.The discussion goes far beyond travel chaos as the conversation turns to the deeper structural challenges facing Caribbean cricket. Jordan and Kieran question the governance, transparency and financial direction of Cricket West Indies, raising concerns about reduced domestic fixtures, declining investment and the long-term sustainability of the organisation. With fears growing that poor financial management could leave the governing body facing serious economic trouble, the episode explores whether Caribbean cricket could be approaching a critical breaking point. Drawing on insider knowledge of the professional game, the hosts call for urgent accountability, including the need for an independent audit and a complete structural reset to protect the future of one of the most historic teams in world cricket. The episode is a passionate and honest discussion about leadership, responsibility and the urgent need to safeguard the legacy of West Indies cricket. #WestIndiesCricket #CricketWestIndies #ICC #CaribbeanCricket #CricketGovernance #PlayerWelfare #CricketPodcast #PowettPlayPodcast #JordanShannon #KieranPowell #CricketPolitics #CricketFinance #WorldCupCricket #CricketDiscussion #SportsMax #SportsMaxZone #LoopNews #LoopCaribbean #NationNews #JamaicaGleaner #TrinidadExpress #CNC3 #TVJNews #CVMTV #BarbadosToday #StabroekNews #CaribbeanBroadcastingUnion #CaribbeanSportsNetwork #CaribbeanMedia #CricketWestIndies #CaribbeanCricket #CaribbeanSports Learn more about your ad choices.

    Oh ShaiT! West Indies knocked out of World Cup | PowettPlay Podcast
    Mar 1 2026
    On this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast, hosts Jordan Shannon and West Indies international Kieran Powell deliver an in-depth breakdown of the West Indies’ heartbreaking exit from the ICC Men's T20 World Cup following their decisive clash with India national cricket team. The duo analyse where it all went wrong for the Windies, focusing on a conservative batting approach that ultimately cost them a place in the knockout stages. Despite finishing their innings with wickets in hand, West Indies failed to post a match-winning total raising serious questions about game awareness, intent, and tactical flexibility under pressure. Jordan and Kieran take a closer look at key individual performances, including the surprise decision to deploy Roston Chase as an opener a move that sparked debate. They also credit Sanju Samson for his composed, match-winning innings that steered India home and underlined the difference in execution between the two sides. Beyond the result, the conversation expands into a broader post-tournament review of West Indies cricket. Has real progress been made? Is this young squad moving in the right direction? And what technical and strategic adjustments are needed to transform promising performances into championship-winning consistency? With expert insight, honest critique, and the perspective of a former international cricketer, this episode offers essential analysis for fans of West Indies cricket, T20 World Cup followers, and anyone passionate about the tactical evolution of the modern game. #Cricket #WestIndiesCricket #WestIndiesvIndia #T20I #CricketPodcast #PowettPlay #CaribbeanCricket #KieranPowell #Windies #Cricbuzz #T20Series #WIvIndia #WestIndiesCricket #T20Cricket #CricketAnalysis #CricketTalk #CricketFans #IndiaCricket #INDvWI #CricketPodcast #WindiesCricket #CricketTactics #SportsPodcast #T20 #T20Cricket #WorldCup2026 #ICC #ICCWorldCup #DarenSammy #SanjuSamson Learn more about your ad choices.
