Cameron open to working with CWI

Former president of Cricket West Indies (CWI), Dave Cameron has revealed that he is still willing to lend his assistance in any capacity to help grow the sport in the region.

The 55-year-old Cameron was at the helm of the regional body from 2013 until 2019, before eventually losing to Ricky Skerritt.

In an interview with the Jamaica Observer, while Cameron was tight lipped as to if he had any interest in becoming CWI president again, he said he was more than willing to contribute to West Indies cricket.

“My passion for West Indies cricket remains strong. Our future success depends on critical priorities; investing in youth development to identify and nurture the next generation of Caribbean talent, ensuring financial sustainability that enables our cricket to compete globally while serving all our territories, and fostering unity among our nations in support of our shared cricketing heritage.

“West Indies cricket has given much to our region and the world. I remain committed to supporting its advancement in whatever capacity I can contribute, and I hope all stakeholders will continue working collaboratively to restore our cricket to its rightful place,” Cameron said.

The Jamaican admitted that while he made mistakes during his time as president, he said they had served as valuable lessons.

“I recognise that my approach and decisions during that period, at times contributed to tensions with stakeholders who, like Dr [Ralph] Gonsalves, cared deeply about the future of West Indies cricket.

“With the benefit of reflection, I understand how my actions shaped perspectives then, and I have learned valuable lessons about leadership and collaboration that continue to guide me today,” Cameron said.
