Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced a temporary 50% salary cut across the entire regional cricket system, effective from the start of July, due to financial crunch caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The decision was made after CWI’s Board of Directors received recommendations from the Financial Strategy Advisory Committee during a tele-conference.

“With no international cricket currently being played anywhere in the world, and with great uncertainty of when regular cricket activity will resume, CWI — like many other international sporting organisations worldwide — is facing a significant loss of income, whilst also being uncertain of the long-term impact of the crisis on our operations,” CWI said in a statement.
