“I welcome Dr Ali’s appointment to this crucial and strategic post in our cricket team,” Sir Clive told journalist Philip Spooner in an article.

Lloyd, who captained the West Indies to World Cup titles in 1975 and 1979, urged Dr Ali to focus on grassroots and pathway programmes, emphasizing the importance of rebuilding West Indies cricket to reclaim its status on the world stage.
“We must re-establish ourselves as a major force in cricket,” he said.
