With the announcement of Shai Hope and Rovman Powell as ODI and T20 captains respectively. Machel Hewitt analyses whether this really means anything in the long run?

The 2023 West Indies Championship has been confirmed as a five round Championship with a brand new (best vs best) Headley-Weekes tri-series to follow. There has predictably been some negative reaction to the announcement and there are undoubtedly some cons to the competition but there are pros that some may not have considered. As ever there is always context that people need to think about when considering decisions made by Cricket West Indies.

West Indies travel to Zimbabwe in January then South Africa in February. Brandon King is one of the more obvious players on the outside looking in at the test squad. Is his time now?

Following the West Indies test series defeat in Australia some fans and media have started to question Jason Holder's place in the West Indies test side.

Three months ago Machel was joined by his father Dr Rev. Roderick Hewitt, Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), MPhil focused in Theology/Theological Studies, to analyse if there is any such thing as a true Caribbean identity. The episode was super popular and a part two was demanded. Never say we dont give the people what they want. Professor Roderick Hewitt joins us again to look at the topic of Caribbean independence and decolonisation. With the passing of HRH Queen Elizabeth many of the Caribbean islands have made clear their intention to become Republics and remove the British Monarch as Head of State. We deconstruct the movement and why the time is now.

Only our second ever returning guest to the Caribbean Cricket Podcast. With the Caribbean Premier League reaching its denouement it was only right that we invited the CEO of the CPL, Pete Russell, to reflect on another successful tournament. From the carnival of cricket that was the 6ixty to the Women's CPL there has certainly been a lot to look back on. This before we even focus on the men's cpl. What have been the positives and what are the areas CPL will look to tweak moving forward? Will we get an expanded CPL anytime soon? What does the future of the 6ixty look like?
