WICB director: Regional govts must tell the truth

An irate West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) director has lashed out at some regional governments for what he says is a clear situation of a fight down.

His comments come 24 hours after T&T Prime Minister, Dr Keith Rowley, speaking on CNC3 TV’s programme the Morning Brew with host Hema Ramkissoon, lashed out at the WICB saying: “Caribbean cricket has been hijacked by a small clique of people who are hell bent on destroying Caribbean cricket.

“And this is my position that unless the question is answered as to who owns that asset we spinning top in mud. I was told to my face, me and my colleague the Prime Minister of Grenada, that you all have no say in this. This is West Indies Cricket Inc. West Indies Cricket Incorporated. And it is their shareholders that they have to please.”

Prime Minister Rowley continued: “I don’t know who the shareholders are, but what I do know [is] unless there are drastic changes to the current arrangements, West Indies cricket will never get back to where it is expected to be.”

A director speaking on the condition of anonymity said: “The Honourable Prime Ministers made recommendations and even before the WICB could sit and agree as to what to take on board, they run about the place making noise. All they are interested in is total control. Not all the recommendations made by them would and can be taken on board. The WICB has to see what makes sense because we sit in a position to understand what is going on with the cricket, more than those who have been entrusted with the responsibility of leading their country.

Let's start with the President Mr Cameron telling the truth about lil bravo ?

Why Trinidad don't seek to go it alone, inquiring minds want to know!

After all, Jamaica did pull out of federation, so T&T has a template

In reply to XDFIX... lesson learned you think???

In reply to XDFIX

Where did it say T&T wants to go it alone ?

ah just asking ?

Who are the shareholders? It seems to me that joe public doesn't even know.

Does this Rawley know?

I believe the governments, the WICB, and whoever owns the grounds are the ones reaping the benefits.

To hell with joe public - they just need your money at the gates.
