McGrath eyes back-to-back glory as ‘perfect prep' has Aussie vice-captain hopeful for another ICC title
Fresh from a long winter break, Australia vice-captain Tahlia McGrath feels confident about herself after the ideal lead-up to the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup set to happen in India in less than 50 days. McGrath is representing Australia A in their series against India A at home. 'It's been a really nice winter. It's the longest time off I've had in a number of years, so it was nice to go tools down for a bit, get a proper reset, proper refresh. It's been a really nice build-in to work on some things, to spend some time in Brissy (Brisbane) with the girls with some camps, and then finish off the pre-season with some Aus A games, which is in my eyes the perfect prep leading into a World Cup,' McGrath told As the 29-year-old prepares for the ICC Women's World Cup, this time as vice-captain of the side, McGrath reflected fondly on her experiences from the Women's Cricket World Cup in New Zealand in 2022, where she was still cementing her spot in the side. McGrath had a decent outing through the tournament as Australia went on to claim the title, helping the side with 100 valuable runs from five outings with the bat, while also racking up five wickets with the ball. This time, she is even more hopeful of bringing another ICC trophy back home. 'That (2022 tournament) was my favourite World Cup I've been a part of. The extended time, playing every team is a proper challenge. So the fact that now I'm in a leadership role and I've evolved my game a little bit in that way, I'm really excited to play my part (in India) and hopefully be lifting another World Cup trophy the end of it.' McGrath has thus far taken part in 46 ODIs, amassing 771 runs at 29.65 while playing down the order, in addition to chipping in with 25 wickets.

West Indies cricket battles funding crisis as glory days fade into distant memory
The once-unstoppable West Indies cricket team - an empire that ruled the 1980s and early 2000s with titans like Viv Richards, Clive Lloyd, Michael Holding, and Brian Lara - now stands as a shadow of its former self. The decline is not just painful; it is 2020, an audit uncovered a 'massive hole' in Cricket West Indies' finances, exposing a culture of mismanagement that has eroded trust and crippled operational stability. Calls for radical transparency, governance reform, and ruthless financial discipline are now not just necessary - they are a matter of the field, the collapse has been humiliating. Nowhere was it more brutally exposed than when the team was skittled for a pathetic 27 against Australia - just one run away from the lowest total in Test history. For Clive Lloyd, this was more than a defeat. His rallying cry for a top-to-bottom overhaul - from grassroots talent pipelines to domestic competitions and pitch quality - was as much a plea as it was a warning. The crisis deepens as structural rot sets in. The lure of wealthy T20 leagues is draining the team of its prime talent, with players like Nicholas Pooran walking away from international duty at just 29 to chase franchise exodus exposes a bitter truth: financial security has trumped national pride. Meanwhile, Cricket West Indies' fractured leadership, outdated systems, and decaying domestic infrastructure have turned what was once the pride of the Caribbean into a cautionary tale of squandered legacy and systemic fall of West Indies cricket is not the result of a single misstep—it's the outcome of years of negligence, poor governance, and a failure to adapt to the changing landscape of the key factors stand out:1. Board MismanagementFor decades, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB)—now Cricket West Indies (CWI)—has been plagued by inefficiency, short-term thinking, and questionable financial decisions. Contracts have been mishandled, payments delayed, and strategic planning almost non-existent. The result? Players have lost faith, and the public has lost notorious example came when disputes over revenue distribution left players short-changed, breeding resentment and mistrust. Without financial discipline and transparency, CWI has crippled its own foundation.2. Player-Board DisputesThe relationship between CWI and its players has often resembled a cold war—fraught with tension, mistrust, and public fallouts. Poor communication and stubborn leadership have repeatedly fractured team 2014, Dwayne Bravo famously led the team's mid-tour withdrawal from India after the fourth ODI in Dharamshala, citing unpaid fees—a move that shocked the cricket world and exposed the board's dysfunction.3. T20 Leagues vs. National DutyThe arrival of the IPL in 2008 changed everything. With astronomical salaries and global fame on offer, top players like Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Kieron Pollard, and Sunil Narine increasingly chose franchises over the maroon cap. While financially understandable, this exodus gutted the national side's consistency and Decline in Domestic and Junior CricketOnce a production line for legends, Caribbean grassroots cricket is now starved of funds and vision. Infrastructure is crumbling, coaching pathways are weak, and junior development is neglected. Trinidad, Barbados, Jamaica, Guyana, Antigua—all former powerhouses—are struggling to produce talent of the caliber of Richards, Lloyd, or Lara.5. Test Cricket Losing Its AllureFor many young players, Test cricket feels outdated compared to the fast money and instant fame of T20s. Stars like Shimron Hetmyer have skipped key tours, and the art of grinding out a five-day battle is being lost. Without reigniting passion for the longest format, West Indies risk losing its cricketing soul.6. Player Salaries and Central ContractsOne of the most damaging issues is the pay gap. West Indies central contracts offer a fraction of what top cricket nations provide—and nowhere near what franchise leagues pay. This financial disparity pushes players toward club commitments and away from international duty. Fair pay isn't just about reward—it's about retaining ICC-CWI Financial StructureadvertisementTo rebuild West Indies cricket, it is important to understand the financial structure of the ICC and the is set to receive between 1 million dollars and 100 million dollars from the ICC in the 2024–2027 the 2024-25 season, ICC reportedly allocated 20 million dollars to 2022, CWI generated roughly 34 million dollars, with 24 million dollars coming directly from ICC funds are lifelines—but without smarter spending, they won't stop the A Hope for the FutureWest Indies cricket was once the heartbeat of the sport—synonymous with dominance, flair, and unmatched brilliance. From producing fearsome fast bowlers to dazzling stroke-makers, the Caribbean team inspired generations and captured the world's imagination. In recent years, financial instability and structural challenges have dimmed that glow, but the story is far from decline is not irreversible. With strong leadership, transparent governance, and a shared vision, the West Indies can reclaim their place among cricket's elite. Investment in grassroots programs, better player-board relationships, and a modernized approach to the game can ignite a fans, our belief remains unshaken. The Caribbean still holds immense talent—waiting for the right moment and platform to shine. With unity, hard work, and determination, a new generation of match-winners will emerge, bringing back the pride, passion, and power of West Indies cricket. The comeback can—and will—happen.- EndsMust Watch
