In an interview at the game where our National Basketball Team faced Canada in the FIBA World Cup Qualifier, I said that the same speed and explosiveness that make us world leaders in athletics are the same 'biomechanical' gifts needed to dominate on the basketball court. We have the natural talent; now, we must match that talent with world-class facilities. As we look toward the return of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) and more international events, we must bridge the gap between our natural talent and our physical infrastructure. To truly compete at the highest global standards, your government is committed to the new, significant investments required to build modern venues.(Andrew Holness)
