Are Windies gentrifying their cricket?
Posted: Fri Aug 24, 2018 12:21 pm
In interview CEO of Windies Cricket has big plans to bring Windies cricket to Laudherhill.
Gonna play India there next year and every year til 2022 (copycatting
MLB in London?). Says its to "develop" cricket in states (after seven years not much to show,
with Americans showing absolutely no more interest in the latest Lauderhill game than the first).
But then, big temptation to go where
you can charge $40 a ticket rather than $5 in the Windies. So the cricket fans in
the islands watch their cricket migrating to the South Asians of Silicon Valley.
