T&T swim­mer Nikoli Black­man won his sec­ond bronze and first in­di­vid­ual medal of the sec­ond edi­tion of the Ju­nior Pan Amer­i­can Games when he fin­ished joint third with Brazil­ian Pe­dro San­sone in the men’s 50m freestyle fi­nal in Asun­cion, Paraguay on Wednes­day.

Con­grat­u­la­tions to the West In­dies on a fan­tas­tic per­for­mance to come back and win the One Day In­ter­na­tion­al (ODI) se­ries 2-1 against Pak­istan. Re­mark­ably, this was the West In­dies’ first ODI se­ries win against Pak­istan in 34 years. There were ex­cel­lent per­for­mances through­out the team in the last two games, with Jay­den Seales, Shai Hope, Ros­ton Chase, and Justin Greaves de­liv­er­ing stand­out per­for­mances. One can on­ly hope that the play­ers now un­der­stand the high lev­el of con­sis­ten­cy it takes to win an ODI se­ries and, hav­ing tast­ed vic­to­ry, that this is a sign of things to come.

T&T swim­mers Nikoli Black­man and Zuri Fer­gu­son both missed out on adding to this coun­try’s lone medal when they placed fourth in their re­spec­tive fi­nals at the sec­ond edi­tion of the Ju­nior Pan Amer­i­can Games at the Olympic Aquat­ic Cen­tre in Asun­cion, Paraguay, Mon­day night.

Yes­ter­day, Mon­day, Au­gust 11, was World Steel­pan Day. It’s a day that has sig­nif­i­cance for T&T. That sig­nif­i­cance is one of the rea­sons I choose to re­flect, in par­tic­u­lar, on “Pan on De Podi­um” and the jour­ney to get­ting the steel­pan ver­sion of the na­tion­al an­them played on the podi­um.

The Unit Trust Cor­po­ra­tion (UTC) has part­nered with the Trin­ba­go Knight Rid­ers (TKR) for the 2025 sea­son of the Caribbean Pre­mier League (CPL T20). The part­ner­ship was ce­ment­ed with a for­mal con­tract sign­ing re­cent­ly.

Crick­et West In­dies’ (CWI) chief ex­ec­u­tive of­fi­cer, Chris Dehring has re­vealed that while “around 100” is­sues had been iden­ti­fied as the rea­sons be­hind the de­cline in West In­dies crick­et, in­suf­fi­cient fa­cil­i­ties, skill de­fi­cien­cies in play­ers and the qual­i­ty of do­mes­tic com­pe­ti­tions were among some of the main caus­es.

With not on­ly their se­ries against Pak­istan on the line but au­to­mat­ic qual­i­fi­ca­tion for the 2027 World Cup, West In­dies all-rounder Ros­ton Chase says it’s im­por­tant that they get max­i­mum points from every One Day In­ter­na­tion­al (ODI) they play go­ing for­ward.
