Lessons WICB can learn from the CPL

In an interview with PakPassion.net, Tony Cozier shares his memories of the best cricketers he has watched as a commentator, a job he has held for more than fifty years. He also commends the Caribbean Premier League but says that the West Indies Cricket Board should now show the same commitment to finding sponsors for other domestic tournaments.

First of all, the Caribbean Premier League is well financed and it needs to be. The promotions are outstanding. It is international class. The West Indies Cricket Board has got into absolutely no promotion whatsoever for its various competitions. I am not talking about spending millions on promotions, but even a basic promotion is not done by the West Indies Cricket Board in relation to any of their competitions. They suffer because of that. I do hope now that they are taking a bit of an example from the Caribbean Premier League, seeing what promotion can do.
