The future of Caribbean cricket coverage has arrived on CounterPress
Caribbean cricket fans are among the most passionate in the world, yet coverage of cricket in the region has been all too shallow, with precious few journalists dedicated to the sport.
In 2019, the Caribbean Cricket Podcast set out to fix that, and now, six action-packed years later, they're stepping up to the crease with a dedicated platform powered by CounterPress.
"We found ourselves bemoaning the lack of cricket coverage in our region, so we created the Caribbean Cricket Podcast"Machel Hewitt, Caribbean Cricket News
Founded by Machel Hewitt and Santokie Nagulendran, the podcast has established itself as a powerful, knowledgeable, and reliable source of West Indies cricket information.
With content bursting at the seams, they felt it was time to push new boundaries.
Welcome to Caribbean Cricket News, an exclusive news subscription service covering everything from the national team's trials and tribulations to the minutiae of inter-island competition.
Early sign-ups are now open ahead of the formal launch in mid-September, so put your name on the list and be the first through the door.
Hewitt said: “We found ourselves bemoaning the lack of cricket coverage in our region, so we created the Caribbean Cricket Podcast to fill the void.
“It has grown to encompass deeply insightful audio and visual content, and now is the right time to bring that level of detail and rigour to our written content as well.”
"Machel has a real determination to create a service for fans of Caribbean cricket"Sam Morshead, CounterPress CEO
CCN becomes the fifth outlet to launch on CounterPress, a new digital publishing platform that empowers journalists, reporters, and content creators to earn money while providing a product of value to their communities.
CounterPress co-founder Sam Morshead said: “Machel has a real determination to create a service for fans of Caribbean cricket that is so obviously lacking in the current media ecosystem.”
“He has made admirable strides with the Caribbean Cricket Podcast over the past few years, and we at CounterPress are committed to helping him expand his reach, enhance his product, and ensure this excellent outlet has a profitable and sustainable future.”
