Dear Sports Editor,
Cricket fever is about to take over Guyana! Firstly on the field with the tri-nation series and Caribbean Premier League. Off the field WICB & CARICOM are in town for board meetings and the CARICOM cricket sub-committee will make a cataclysmic decision on whether they can or won’t disband the WICB, as many observant fans, media and former legendary players want.
Are Guyanese cricket fans ready to stand up for players who won’t be selected for tri-series?
Is the Guyana cricket media ready to call out WICB President Dave Cameron for failing to solve the GCB cricket crisis?
Are the Guyana government and sports ministry ready to stand with CARICOM?
After many local fans would have obviously celebrated greatly after the men won the T20 world cup title by now it should have dawned that half of that squad won’t be in Guyana next month.
For anyone still unaware according to intransigent and ridiculous WICB selection policies, players such Darren Sammy, Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Lendl Simmons, Dwayne Bravo are definitely ineligible – possibly too also Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine.
