The Leeward Islands Cricket Board (LICB) has undertaken  a historic modernization of its governance framework with the first revision of its Memorandum and  Articles of Association since 2015.

This strategic advancement is the result of a meticulous review  process led by a dedicated subcommittee and supported by a retained legal advisory firm. Following  rigorous deliberations, the LICB Board approved the refined document, and its Member Territories  formally ratified the amendments at an Extraordinary General Meeting held on March 31, 2025. 

This revision marks a significant step in LICB’s pursuit of excellence, strengthening transparency  and progressive leadership in cricket administration.

The updated Memorandum and Articles of  Association introduce key governance enhancements that fortify decision-making integrity, broaden  representation, and reinforce best practices in leadership tenure. 

One of the most significant changes is the introduction of term limits for the President and Vice  President positions, each now serving a three-year term.

To uphold the principles of democratic  leadership and continuity, no individual may serve as President for more than two consecutive terms. 

This adjustment fosters leadership renewal while ensuring stability and sustained strategic direction  within the organization. 

Further advancing governance impartiality, LICB has also established the role of an Independent  Director. This individual will remain unaffiliated with any territorial board and is not required to  reside within the Leeward Islands.

Their presence will ensure complete objectivity in LICB’s  governance, reinforcing professionalism and independence in decision-making processes. 

Additionally, to strengthen equitable territorial representation, each Member Territory will now  designate a representative – distinct from the appointed LICB Director – to attend and participate in  General Meetings.

This measure guarantees that all territories have a voice in LICB’s governance,  enhancing democratic engagement and regional inclusivity. 

“The Leeward Islands Cricket Board is steadfast in its mission to elevate cricket administration to  world-class standards,” said LICB President Enoch Lewis.

“These reforms exemplify our dedication  to principled leadership, inclusivity, and accountability, ensuring that our cricketing institutions  remain robust and forward-thinking.

The changes will enable us to lead with clarity and unity as we  strive for excellence in the sport.” 

With these governance enhancements now in effect, LICB solidifies its role as a pioneering regional  cricket board, setting a precedent for leadership, transparency, and equitable representation in cricket  administration.
