West Indies CEO Johnny Grave on investment, the Shamar Joseph effect and pay parity

Stumped

Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Sunil Gupta hear from West Indies Chief Executive Johnny Grave. He tells Alison about co-hosting the ICC Men's T20 World Cup and he responds to the ICC's announcement of a review into the delivery of the competition. He discusses investment into West Indies cricket and the reliance many cricketing nations have on hosting England, India and Australia. Plus he shares their hopes of pay parity for the women's teams by 2027 and reflects on the remarkable Test Match at the Gabba against Australia earlier in 2024.

The ICC Annual Conference took place this week and we debate the expansion of the Women's T20 World Cup to sixteen teams in 2030.

Plus, India men are about to embark on a new chapter as they face Sri Lanka with their new head coach Gautam Gambhir. Sunil Gupta tells us whether he is the right fit and whether there will be any friction between Gambhir and Virat Kohli.
