What will it take to rebuild West Indies cricket - and who needs to step up?

In the second Otis Gibson episode of The Champions Corner, the former West Indies head coach and World Cup winner returns with Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo for an honest discussion about T20 coaching, player development and the future of West Indies cricket.

Otis breaks down the coaching DNA behind successful T20 teams, why every coach must understand his role, and whether captains should be able to speak directly with coaches during a match. He explains what Shane Watson's training taught him about fundamentals, how Caribbean pitches can shape batting habits, and why better facilities, fitness and professionalism are essential for producing the region's next franchise stars.

Also in this episode: coaching a young Dwayne Bravo, the philosophy behind the 2012 T20 World Cup win, Otis's return to West Indies fast-bowling development, and why experienced players such as Pollard, Bravo and Chris Gayle must help prepare the next generation. All hands on deck.

Why 46 and 47—and how did two jersey numbers become part of the Bravo legacy?

In Episode 6 of The Champions Corner, brothers Dwayne “DJ” Bravo and Darren Bravo reveal the stories behind the numbers that followed them throughout their West Indies careers. Darren explains why he chose 46 as a tribute to his older brother, while Dwayne remembers being handed 47 on his international debut—a number he initially disliked before it became part of his global brand.

The Bravo brothers also discuss their favorite places to tour, why Trinidad will always be home, Darren's love for Test cricket, school-day cricket at Fatima College, life and business beyond the boundary, and how Darren helped build Dwayne's dream home.
