West Indies Cricket Chief Executive Johnny Grave has raised serious allegations against the ICC and major cricket boards, stating that the cricket governing body and major teams are conspiring with technological advancements to prevent West Indies from becoming powerful. Grave stated that allegations are being made for such a time when West Indies had previously won in Australia and couldn’t play in the World Cup last year.
Grave mentioned that the ICC is launching a strong attack on the boards of member countries to make West Indies more powerful. The allegation seems to be a counterattack against the current times. He discussed these claims with Howard Classon in a podcast, considering it as the main weapon.
Furthermore, Grave pointed out that ICC is providing a substantial amount of money for fundamental financial updates, but West Indies has received even less. Grave expressed that everyone wants a powerful West Indies cricket, but what they are feeling is that they need to work the most to win in international cricket, and the major cricket boards are the biggest hurdles.
In addition to cricket, Grave mentioned that there is a possibility of a contract between the ICC and West Indies. This will take place at the Medina Park and Star Sports and will provide the primary revenue from the World Cup 2024-27 and the UEFA European Football Championship.
In terms of creation and honor, Grave mentioned that their primary income has come from the World Cup 2024-27 and the UEFA European Football Championship, and they are currently preparing four alternatives for this. Grave believes that cricket can help boost the economy of the West Indies, but his comments have been made above because they have a lot of work to do to win, and the ICC can help them technologically.
Grave stated that it may be difficult for cricket to flourish in the West Indies due to its location in the sea, which can deprive them of technological normalcy compared to other countries, but Grave believes that they should have an agreement with them.
