Cricket West Indies Announces International Retainer Contracts for 2022-23

Cricket West Indies (CWI) has announced international retainer contracts available to both men and women for the years 2022–2023. New additions to the list in men’s cricket include Jayden Seales, Obed McCoy, and Odean Smith.

CWI in a statement on Tuesday, June 28 informed that “For 2022-23, CWI has changed the Men’s retainer contract structure to offer player contracts across all formats of cricket, compared to specific red or white-ball contracts in previous years. The offer of retainer contracts to all players follows an Evaluation Period of performances from 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022, which is also supported by statistics from the previous 2019 – 2020 Evaluation Period. This allows for all players to be appraised immediately after the Evaluation Period and provides a notice period before new contracts start on 1 July 2022. The system is designed to reward hard work and performance results,”

Men’s lead selector Desmond Haynes congratulated the new entrants to the list as he said, “Congratulations to all the players who have been offered contracts. We think this is a dynamic group, with the right mixture of experience and youthfulness to properly represent the people of the Caribbean. With general retainer contracts, it gives us a pool of talented and dedicated cricketers, who can take West Indies cricket forward in years to come.”
