Cricket West Indies: Cricket West Indies (CWI) has called on legendary figures Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd, and Viv Richards to participate in an emergency meeting following the team’s 3-0 series whitewash at home against Australia

The trio will join fellow greats Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Desmond Haynes, and Ian Bradshaw on the Cricket Strategy and Officiating Committee to assess the team’s recent “deeply disappointing” performances.

The series saw West Indies crumble within three days in each Test, culminating in a historic low in Kingston, where they were bowled out for just 27 in 14.3 overs. That total was only one run higher than the all-time lowest in Test cricket - New Zealand’s 26 in 1955 - and well below West Indies’ previous record low of 47. The innings also made unwanted history: it was the first time a team registered seven ducks in a Test innings and the combined six runs from the top six batters was the lowest ever in Test history.
