On behalf of Cricket West Indies and the entire West Indies cricket family, I extend our heartfelt prayers, condolences, and solidarity to the people of Nepal following the devastating flash floods.

Nepal has been a steadfast friend to the Caribbean and a valued member of our global cricket family. In this moment of profound tragedy, we stand shoulder to shoulder with our friends in Nepal.

Our thoughts are with every family affected, those who have lost loved ones, those awaiting news, and the brave responders working to save lives. We pray for strength, comfort, and healing for the people of Nepal, and for the country’s swift recovery.
