Prior to the formation of the CWIMA no cricketing body in West Indies was specifically constituted to oversee the interests of veteran cricketers. The CWIMA is being specifically constituted to undertake this role under the umbrella of CWI on a more structured and consistent basis.
The CWIMA shall establish a formal structure and processes in terms of which CWI representative veteran teams can be selected to represent West Indies in veteran cricket tournaments, bilateral series, tri-nation series and other such matches.
