ROSEAU, Dominica (CMC) – Grenada’s Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell has bristled at the suggestion by West Indies Cricket Board president, Dave Cameron, that his board was too busy to have an urgent meeting with Caricom leaders to discuss the recommendations of the Governance Review Panel report.
Speaking on the opening day of the OECS Summit here, Mitchell reiterated that Caricom heads were serious about ensuring there were fundamental changes in West Indies cricket and urged Cameron to focus on the interests of Caribbean people and not those of himself and his board members.
“We (Caricom Heads) said were prepared in the interest of our people to meet immediately to look at how we’re going forward,” said Mitchell, who is also chairman of Caricom’s Cricket Governance Committee.
“I can’t believe this … I saw a (news) report the president of the West Indies Cricket Board says his people are very busy – they are professional people with a lot of responsibilities – so the heads are not professional people. So we can meet, we can give up everything else.

Is that Mitchel's mantra. I hope he said the same thing when he ran his election campaign.

Can you imagine Stuart as the directorship of With cricket and you think Dave bad.
Caricom is showing its political immaturity and bullying culture.
Two negatives don't make a positive, in electricity sparks will fly.

Bossman if by Stuart you mean the PM of BIM, how did he feature into this article?
and if you read the Governance Review Report it never stated that the Caricom is to take over the running of WI cricket. so i really dont understand where you are going with that nonsense.

There need to have a body that governs the WICB, it is a good development that Mr. Mitchell is speaking up, the nonsense is going on for too long, the Board presently seem to have no plan to correct the state of cricket in the WI.
