The contracts have been given for the next two years. The same has become possible due to the recent four-year Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) signed in January 2024 between the CWI and the West Indies Players Association (WIPA). It is worth noting that 15 men's West Indies players have been given a contract, with six of them being multi-year. Furthermore, of the 15 women contracted players, three of them have been signed for multiple years. With the multi-year contracts being offered, the board's Director of Cricket, Miles Bascombe, came forward and talked about how the board has managed to have open conversations with the players, and congratulated the contracted ones. "CWI has committed to maintaining open and honest dialogue with players and being practical about the realities of the modern game. The players have responded in kind and the acceptance of multi-year contracts is an indication of clarity, confidence, and commitment on both sides. I'd like to congratulate the entire contracted cohort on their performances in the last assessment period and I look forward to them building on those in next one," Miles Bascombe was quoted as saying by Cricket West Indies.
