Brian Lara Urges Appointment of Gayle, Bravo and Pollard to Rebuild West Indies Cricket

He made his appeal after an emergency summit produced a preliminary roadmap for funding talks with the ICC

Overview

  • Lara used an Instagram post to call on Cricket West Indies to bring Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard into formal mentoring roles.
  • He argued that the trio’s generational alignment and shared dressing-room experience could improve communication and address cultural and psychological challenges.
  • An emergency legends meeting in Trinidad proposed roughly 100 reforms, including a regional high-performance centre and an academy network.
  • Cricket West Indies plans to leverage the summit’s roadmap to seek special funding from the ICC for structural and governance overhauls.
  • The team remains in crisis under coach Daren Sammy following heavy defeats, failure to qualify for recent tournaments and the retirements of key players.
