Jeremiah Louis, a seamer for the Leeward Islands, has been released from the hospital after scans showed no serious injury following a helmet strike by Trinidad & Tobago fast bowler Jayden Seales during a West Indies Championship match at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. The match was abandoned after the umpires, Leslie Reifer and Zahid Bassarath, deemed the pitch dangerous, leading to frustration from players and coaches alike. Seales had a remarkable performance, taking all seven wickets that fell in the Leeward Islands' second innings. The decision to abandon the match was made after 27 wickets fell in just 147 overs, with the Leeward Islands leading by 96 runs at the time of the incident. CWI stated that both teams would receive points up to the abandonment, and no matches will be held at the venue until the Championship Final scheduled for May 17-20. CWI will ensure that proper resources are allocated for pitch preparation in the future.
