‘ICC is giving us…’: Cricket West Indies CEO accuses world cricket of conspiring against side

Cricket West Indies CEO Jonny Grave feels that the ICC was giving more money only in headlines while the board's revenue was dipping

Cricket West Indies CEO Jonny Grave has levelled serious allegations over world cricket and ICC. He claims that his board’s revenue has gone down by 5-7% while noting that ICC is giving more money just in ‘headlines’. He accuses world cricket of conspiring against WI to never make the side strong again.

‘West Indies cricket is never strong again’

I think everyone is a bit sick of the phrase – world cricket needs a strong West Indies – when we definitely feel that world cricket is doing everything they can at almost every level to make sure that West Indies Cricket is never strong again,” Grave says on Wisden Cricket Monthly Podcast.

“I think that is borne of the frustration of that as lan Bishop says in his own words that this is a patronising tone. If you want a strong West Indies Cricket, it would not be that hard to do a bit more. ICC is giving us more money in headlines but our percentage of revenue has gone down from 7 to 5 per cent, which we struggle to understand,” Grave adds.

“If we all just are looking after ourselves then are we acting as a community? Are we putting the best product on the field?” he concludes.
