About this listen

 The PowettPlay Podcast returns with hosts Jordan Shannon and Kieran Powell breaking down the conclusion of the West Indies Championship 2026 season in a detailed, insight-rich episode. From team dominance to standout individual performances, this episode delivers a comprehensive review of one of the Caribbean’s premier first-class cricket competitions. Jordan and Kieran analyse Guyana’s commanding run throughout the tournament, highlighting how their consistency and depth secured direct qualification for the finals. The discussion also turns to Barbados, who showed resilience and squad strength by advancing to the playoff stage despite missing several key players—raising important questions about depth in regional cricket. A major focus of the episode is on the tournament’s top performers. The hosts shine a spotlight on Joshua Da Silva’s outstanding double century, a defining innings of the season, and Kevin Wickham’s remarkable consistency with the bat, which made him one of the most reliable run-scorers in the competition. Their performances are dissected in detail, with expert insight into technique, temperament, and future potential. Beyond individual and team success, the conversation tackles a broader issue facing West Indies cricket: the shortened domestic season. Jordan and Kieran express concerns about the impact this has on player development and match readiness, suggesting innovative solutions such as additional trial matches and bilateral series to maintain competitive momentum. To close the episode, the hosts propose an intriguing concept a “best of the rest” combined XI made up of standout players from eliminated teams. This idea sparks a wider discussion about creating more opportunities for high-level competition and talent exposure across the region. Whether you're a fan of West Indies cricket, domestic red-ball competitions, or in-depth cricket analysis, this episode of the PowettPlay Podcast offers expert commentary, key takeaways, and forward-thinking ideas for the future of the game. #WestIndiesCricket #RegionalFourDayChampionship #KieranPowell #JordanShannon #CricketPodcast #PlayerAnalysis #TestCricket #SquadSelection #CaribbeanCricket #BattingTips #CricketCoaching #KevinWickham #JustinGreaves #LeewardIslandsCricket #GudakeshMotie #WindiesCricket #WestIndiesCricket #WindiesRegional #Captaincy #Leadership #FirstClassCricket #GuyanaCricket #BarbadosCricket #JamaicaCricket #TrinidadCricket #WindwardIslands Learn more about your ad choices.
