WICB PRESS RELEASE:

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) categorically denies that it has spent any money on renovations or repairs to premises occupied by its President, the Hon. Dr. Julian R. Hunte. 

WICB acknowledges that it is renting an office in St. Lucia for use by its President, in keeping with a now established tradition of maintaining an office in the place of residence of the Board’s President.   The premises being rented by the WICB in St. Lucia are owned by West Indies General Insurance Company limited - a company in which the Hon. Dr. Julian Hunte is a major shareholder. 

The WICB is an 80-year-old regional institution that operates in the international community and asserts its commitment to ensure that the affairs and conduct of the members of the Board of Directors and its officers are held to the highest standards.  

The Board also wishes to express its regret for any damage that may have been done to the reputation of the Hon. Dr. Julian R. Hunte and his family because of the unfounded allegations made against him in the press in recent times.
