Teddy Griffith yesterday opened a innings of a long, rich history of involvement in West Indies’ cricket with a few polished strokes. In outlining his vision for the future, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president identified four objectives by which his tenure should be measured.

They are:

By June 2005, to have the West Indies senior team consolidate its position among the three top-ranked countries in both Tests and One-Day Internationals;

To return the WICB to a path of sustainable profitability from traditional activities;

To identify and introduce sources of non-traditional revenue; and

By June 2005, to achieve a minimum 60 per cent state of readiness for the hosting of the Caribbean World Cup 2007 at all selected venues.
