How about this guy, your relative isnt he ?
So now in all of this, there are so many questions about what this contractual agreement means for West Indies cricket and given the continual nonperformance of any other team, then T&T, there is the need to call into account the sensibility of this argument. In T&T, there has been a belief that the president of the WICB at the time Dr Julian Hunte did not give the other members much of a choice, as this was already agreed before the WICB executive had a chance to meet on this matter. In T&T, the current Cricket Board is very upset, that need to seek permission from WICB and owners of the CPL, if a RED FORCE match is to be organized. There is too much doubt and suspicion in this matter and when one reads the contract, it appears to be too heavily in favor of the CPL, at the expense of the WICB and the people of the Caribbean.

In this agreement between the WICB Inc. and CPL Limited, which is dated November, 16, 2012, there are some startling revelations that need not only explanations, but probably investigations.
Foremost in all of this, has to be the terms of the contract, which read as follows:
2.3 Subject to Clause 2.4, CPL may, at its sole option, extend the term of this agreement in respect of up to a maximum of 3 (three) renewal periods of 10 (ten) years each (each a “renewal period”) as follows;
a) Renewal Period 1: from the end of the initial term to 31 December 2042
b) Renewal Period 2: from 1 January 2043 to 31 December 2052 and
c) Renewal Period 3: from 1 January 2053 to 31 December 2062. Such extension rights shall be exercisable by CPL by notice in writing to the WICB to be given by no later than 30 June 2032 in respect of Renewal Period 1, by no later than 30 June 2042 in respect of Period 2 and by no later than 30 June 2052 in respect of Renewal Period 3.
When one reads the above, it would appear, as if the WICB, have decided to just say, we do not want to be involved in this and let someone else handle it. This is quite peculiar, as nowhere else in the cricketing world, has any other cricketing nation allowed this prosperous version of cricket to be controlled by third parties

The other area of concern has to be Clause 3
3.3 …The WICB shall not sanction or otherwise permit any List A twenty 20 match, tournament, challenge, Cup or league or any other Twenty20 match, tournament, challenge, Cup or league featuring International Players,WICB contracted players or regional players to be staged in the West Indies during the term.

The CPL maybe second only to the IPL, and the WICB gives it away in the the infant stages. Could you imageing the BCCI or Cricket Australia doing the same ?

I imagine WICB would not have had the resources to launch it, maybe that is why they outsourced it
2017-04-16 20:39:23
De big question now is: WHO ARE THE MERCENARIES...de cricketers or the WICB?
