TTCB debunk WICB claims

Mon, Aug 24, '15

THE TRINIDAD and Tobago Cricket Board has categorically denied that the West Indies Cricket Board has held any meaningful discussions with them concerning the hosting of a town-hall meeting of local stakeholders.

This response from the TTCB contradicts a media release by the WICB on August 22 which alleges that “efforts to host a meeting in T&T could not be finalised as far back as June 2015 when the president’s office made contact.”

The WICB was responding to comments last week made by third vice-president of the TTCB Patrick Rampersad who chided the WICB and its president Wycliffe “Dave” Cameron for bypassing TT in their planned series of meetings which have already been held in St Lucia, Dominica, Guyana and Jamaica.

In their latest media release the WICB stated that their next town-hall meeting will be staged in Antigua “on a date to be announced” but again no mention was made of the TT leg, which has raised serious concerns about the level of respect and courtesy being afforded the local cricket organisation.
