At this meeting officials will further examine the six candidates CWI has on a list, from which one will be chosen.

The players will have interviews upcoming and a recommendation will be made to the CWI Board of Directors. The meeting will also involve discussions on the proposed Test squad to face Australia at home starting next month, as well as the proposed ‘A’ Team to take on South Africa “A” in St Lucia later this month.
