As Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister Dr. Keith Rowley prepares to step down from office on March 16, 2025, and concludes his tenure as Chair of the CARICOM Subcommittee on Cricket, Cricket West Indies (CWI) pays tribute to a leader whose steadfast commitment has profoundly shaped the region and the sport.

On behalf of CWI, President Dr. Kishore Shallow extends heartfelt appreciation for Dr. Rowley’s unwavering support, visionary leadership, and enduring contributions to West Indies cricket—an impact that will resonate for generations to come.

A true champion of West Indies cricket

Dr. Rowley has been more than a political leader; he has been a formidable force for Caribbean progress. His passion for West Indies cricket was evident throughout his tenure, as he boldly championed the unity, development, and global competitiveness of the region’s beloved sport.

Reflecting on his immense contributions, Dr. Shallow described him as: “A giant amongst men—an unwavering advocate for Caribbean unity, progress, and the institutions that define us.”

Under his stewardship, the CARICOM Cricket Symposium, held last year, was a landmark event that brought together key stakeholders to pave the way for a stronger, more resilient future for West Indies cricket.
