Brian Lara and Mickey Arthur named in panel to review West Indies' dismal performance at World T20

Two-time champions West Indies had faced a shock exit in the group stages of the World T20 last month after losing to Scotland and Ireland while managing a solitary victory against Zimbabwe. This was the first time the Caribbean outfit had to play in the tournament's qualifiers stage. Their disappointing performance led to the immediate announcement of a performance review by Cricket West Indies President Ricky Skerritt, who had particularly pointed out the team's T20 batting culture including the 'inability of our batsmen to prevail over opposing slow bowling' and 'untimely shot selections'. 

"Emotion-based and knee-jerk type decisions have failed CWI repeatedly in the past. I am confident that this independent World Cup review process will produce findings and learnings that should be of great benefit to our cricket system going forward," Skerritt added after the announcement of the panel.
