CWI presents a vision of cricket in North and South America at ICC Conference
Mon, August 18 ’25
During the annual conference of the International Cricket Council (ICC) from 17-20 July, the leadership of Cricket West India (CWI) presented in Singapore in Singapore.
In addition to the full stakeholders of the ICC, the conference brought representatives of the cricket associations in America, including the US, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Bermuda and the Bahamas, all dedicated to the rising popularity of sport in the western hemisphere.
The head of the presentation was the proposed establishment of La Federación de Críquet de las Américas (Feca) to formalize and serve relationships as a united, collaboration platform for the exchange of ideas and development initiatives.
CWI CEO, Chris Dehring, said that the regional body proudly embraces its role if the only ICC -Followed member in America embraces and argued that setting up an organization like Feca would be long to open up enormous opportunities for growth, competition and regional involvement.
“Exalting the sport in the wider hemisphere benefits all of us,” said Dehring.
“By connecting the emerging markets in America with our own established structures, we can efficiently create more competition, competitions and exposure at any level for both ICC Associate member states and countries under Aegis of Cricket West India.”
During the conference, CWI also had general discussions about possible qualifying paths for the Olympic and Pan -Marican competitions and the idea of an Americas Championship, such as the Asia Cup that is disputed by members of the Asian cricket Council, where Caribbean nations could individually compete against their North, Central and Southameramas.
“Caribbean countries will not be sidelined if cricket returns to the Olympic Games. Our 15 proud countries deserve a fair path to compete, which reflects the true spirit of inclusion and opportunities that represent the Olympic Games,” Dehring argued.
“Our individual countries that compete for a place in the Olympic spotlight is an opportunity for their respective governments to show tangible support for their national teams while they fly their individual national flags. It is an unprecedented opportunity because building stronger national teams will ultimately result in a stronger West India team.
