Cricket West Indies (CWI) is pleased to announce the appointment of Chris Dehring as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

A visionary leader with an extraordinary track record in finance, sports management, media, and telecommunications, Dehring is uniquely positioned to steer CWI into a bold new chapter of growth and development.

Selected from a competitive pool of over fifty (50) applicants representing Europe, Australia, Afghanistan, India, and the Caribbean, Dehring’s appointment is the culmination of a meticulous, meritocratic process which included independent experts.

His selection reflects CWI’s steadfast commitment to attracting top-tier talent to lead West Indies cricket.

Dr. Kishore Shallow, President of CWI, praised the appointment, saying, Dehring is no stranger to pioneering achievements.
