The game has always held a special place in my heart, and I look forward to attending West Indies matches at the World Cup and contributing to the development of cricket globally. While I will definitely be supporting the West Indies in the World Cup, bringing the game to America is a huge thing for cricket. It is the largest sports market in the world and what we will do for the T20 World Cup is a great opportunity to include cricket in the LA Olympics in 2028.
