(CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, greater Georgetown, Guyana) The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) extends hearty congratulations to the Trinidad and Tobago cricket team on its excellent performance in the Champions League Twenty/Twenty cricket tournament.

The exhilarating performances rekindled hope in West Indies cricket and reminded spectators around the world of the panache associated with West Indies cricket at a time when the game in the Region is traversing a difficult path. The team’s accomplishments demonstrated that our cricketers can more than hold their own with the best in the world given the fact that most of the other teams in the tournament comprised of proven players at the highest level of the game.

The consistency, discipline, team work and leadership displayed are a tribute to the team, its management and the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board and are a fine example of what can be achieved when these elements are blended together.

Captain Daren Ganga and his men have certainly made West Indians proud once again of their cricketers’ prowess and for that alone they deserve our praise and thanks.
