ACCORDING to CWIMA Official, Raj Singh, the Governing body for Masters Cricket in West Indies has collaborated closely with local authorities in Barbados, receiving significant support in
promoting the island to focus on sporting tourism.
Key partners, including the Barbados Cricket Association, Barbados Cricket Umpires Association, Barbados Legends, and Barbados Tourism Management Institute, have played vital
roles in the successful execution of these events.

“Looking ahead, CWIMA plans to extend its tournament hosting to Guyana, taking advantage of the rapidly growing hotel infrastructure and the strong backing from the Guyanese
President for sports tourism. The association intends to organise a Regional Masters O40s tournament to celebrate Guyana’s 58th Independence Anniversary, with plans to invite teams from the Caribbean and North America, pending approval from the Guyanese government” informed Singh, a former East Bank first division cricketer.

“Masters cricket is essential for the development of the sport in the Caribbean, offering numerous benefits to players, their families, communities, and youth. These veteran players are inspired to adopt healthier lifestyles, which positively impact their families. The younger generation can look up to these masters as role models and mentors, while their return to clubs enhances team strength” concluded Singh.
