Wed, Jan 14, '15

Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) first vice-president Dr Allen Sammy confirmed that the local body was disappointed with the omission of Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard from the West Indies World Cup side but said the territorial board had full confidence in the choices of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) selectors.

During the official launch of the NAGICO Super50 series at the TTCB headquarters in Balmain Couva yesterday, Sammy read a prepared statement from TTCB president Azim Bassarath which outlined the roles of the TTCB directors on the WICB in regard to the team selection.

The statement said that the directors are independent directors and not territorial representatives of the TTCB on the WICB.

It also stated that the WICB is mandated to appoint a senior selection panel and an exhaustive process involving territorial boards is undertaken before directors vote on the final appointments to the said panel.
