New Delhi, Oct 8 (NationPress) West Indies cricket legend Sir Vivian Richards spearheaded a remarkable assembly of cricket icons and sports figures as Cricket West Indies (CWI) hosted its inaugural Golf Day on Wednesday.

Alongside Sir Vivian were cricketing greats Brian Lara and Sir Richie Richardson, in addition to current West Indies stars Shai Hope and Roston Chase. This gathering symbolized not only a reunion of champions but also showcased the extensive influence of West Indies cricket on a global scale.

The event presented a distinctive opportunity for legends and leaders across various sports to interact beyond the cricket pitch — exchanging stories, camaraderie, and a shared passion for competition in a serene, outdoor atmosphere.

This initiative aligns with CWI’s larger mission to connect with international audiences and foster collaboration across different sports, showcasing how the fundamental principles of cricket — teamwork, resilience, and respect — resonate in all athletic endeavors.

CEO of CWI, Chris Dehring, expressed, “Cricket West Indies has always stood as one of the esteemed institutions of the sport, rooted in pride, heritage, and the unparalleled spirit of our players and supporters. As we move forward, we aim to reinforce that legacy by forging deeper global connections and new avenues for the game. This Golf Day in Delhi marks an exciting step in that journey. We appreciate the support of TCM Sports, our long-time partners, for their unwavering belief in our vision which enables initiatives like this.”

For players such as Shai Hope, it was a chance to engage with the legends who laid the groundwork for their careers. “It’s remarkable to occupy the same space as those whose narratives have molded West Indies cricket. You gain insights simply by being around them,” he stated.

Uttam Mundy, CEO of IGPL, remarked, “We are excited to introduce the IGPL experience to the Caribbean in partnership with Cricket West Indies and TCM Sports. This event transcends a mere golf day; it’s about merging cultures, celebrating excellence, and advocating for golf as a unifying sport for individuals from diverse backgrounds.”
