West Indies Cricket: The Eventual Decline | Part 2 – The Point of Inflexion (1995–2025)

West Indies’ decline was not sudden. It was structural, political, and quietly inevitable.Part 2 of this two-part series examines the point of inflexion from 1995 onwards, when dominance faded, governance fractures widened, and cricket slowly stopped binding the Caribbean together.From contractual disputes, player walkouts, and the rise of the freelance cricketer, to statistical decay across formats and repeated failures to qualify for global tournaments, this episode looks beyond scorecards to understand what truly unraveled behind the scenes.#westindiescricket #icc #testcricket #odicricket #t20cricket #cricketgoverningbody #cricketwestindies 00:25 - Intro: The Inflexion Point (1995)03:09 - Commercialization & Board–Player Breakdown (1995–2004)15:26 - The Freelance Era Begins (2005–2014)22:42 - Decline Across Formats (2014–2019)23:46 - Collapse and Missed World Cups (2020–2025)29:20 - What Comes Next?🎧 Listen, Read, Follow: https://ecosystem.cricktake.com/Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, Instagram, TikTok, Substack & Medium.
