WICB on Sarwan: Indifferent attitude, unsatisfactory fitness
Thu, Sep 2, '10
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has issued the following statement to clarify the reasons Ramnaresh Sarwan, Jerome Taylor and Narsingh Deonarine were not considered for retainer contracts:
In response to several media queries, the WICB issues the following clarifications to two points raised in a WIPA press release issued on Wednesday August 11th.
The following is a statement from the West Indies Players' Association:
WIPA shares the Guyanese players concern about being kept in the dark about the arrangements for their participation in the forthcoming Airtel CLT20 scheduled for September 2010 in South Africa.
The WICB has announced that it intends to retain one third of the participation fee of 500K. WIPA is unaware of any other Board retaining any part of the Participation Fee. WIPA is of the view that retaining such a large sum could have a direct negative impact on Guyanese cricket and its players. In fact, WIPA understands that no monies were deducted from the TTCB for last year’s participation.
Stanford Twenty20 champions Trinidad and Tobago opened the inaugural West Indies Cricket Board’s Caribbean T20 with a crushing nine wicket win at Kensington Oval in Barbados yesterday. Batting in reply to Canada's 110, Adrian Barath scored an unbeaten 66 from 47 deliveries.
