CWI President Ricky Skerritt delivers Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Lecture

Dear Editors and Correspondents,

Please find attached here a copy of the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Lecture which was delivered on Monday night by Mr Ricky Skerritt, President of Cricket West Indies.

In his speech, President Skerrit said "Great things can be achieved when the West Indian cricket community strives to think big and think differently, to collaborate and innovate together, and to put insularity and petty cricket politics to bed. Cricket still has a golden chance to drive transformative growth and secure its sustainable long-term future in our West Indian culture for several more decades to come. West Indians are a resilient people. ​ Sir Frank Worrell showed us how to face up to adversity and in honour of his memory, let us pledge tonight to continue to rally around the West Indies."
