ST. JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) has unveiled a groundbreaking, data-driven scouting system aimed at identifying and developing the best cricketing talent across the region.
This new initiative marks a major shift in player assessment, with Senior Talent Managers, Territorial Talent Identifiers (TTIDs), and a network of scouts now working together to provide a structured, analytical approach to talent identification.
With the West Indies Championship as their first major assignment, the scouting team will ensure that every performance is tracked, analyzed, and reported, creating a clear pathway for emerging cricketers to progress to the highest levels.
A Modernized Scouting Network
Through CWI’s recently appointed Senior Talent Managers, Jamal Smith (Male) and Ann Browne-John (Female), there will now be a dedicated and robust responsibility for managing senior player data, collaborating with analysts, and assisting in selection decisions. They will work alongside six TTIDs, each assigned to a specific region:
Barbados – Henderson Broomes
Guyana – Ramnaresh Sarwan
Jamaica – Delroy Morgan
Leeward Islands – Samuel Spencer
Trinidad & Tobago – Gibran Mohammed
Windward Islands – Craig EmmanuelAdditionally, four regional scouts—Fernix Thomas (Dominica), Stacy-Ann Adams (St. Vincent), Anthony Gray (Trinidad & Tobago), and Shane Jeffers (St. Kitts)—will assist in evaluating talent during the West Indies Championship.
According to CWI Director of Cricket Miles Bascombe, this initiative represents a significant step toward professionalizing talent identification.
