Roseau, DOMINICA – The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) is reporting that it is forecasting a surplus for the financial year ending September 30, 2016. Additionally, it is projecting to spend an estimated US$40 million on its development programmes for the year October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017.

President, Dave Cameron has indicated that the spending for the upcoming financial year, will include focus on:

Two A Team Tours

Age group tours and under the under 19s preparation to defend the World Championship title in 2018

Women’s team qualification and participation in the World Cup in June 2017 in England and series to include the

ODI series vs England in Jamaica, October 8 – 19, and India (away series) in November.

The President also added that the number of days for cricket has almost doubled “and all the teams will be busy in the upcoming year.”

I suppose that realizing a surplus should guarantee his re-election ?

" TALK IS CHEAP , SHOW US THE MONEY ".

It is just that freaking Simple . BTW
Anyone who really believes this ; also
believes in the Tooth Fairy .

This Folks , is simply another one
of the Worst International Cricket
Board in the Commonwealth , aka the
WICBC , Machiavellian tactics .

Just like the several Reports it commissioned , and then swiftly rejected the salient features of these Reports .

WE have yet to hear about the highly anticipated Wehby Report , that may
never see the light of day . This is
simply a ploy to reelect those who are destroying Cricket in the Region .
Imagine Our U-19 Team ; Our Women's
and Men's Teams

ARE THE BEST IN THE WORLD IN THE

SHORTEST VERSION OF THE GAME .

WE have yet to hear how many new
Financial Sponsors the WICBC has got .
THEY ALL NEED TO GO SO THAT WE CAN

IMPROVE , WITH A COMPLETELY NEW

STRUCTURE THAT MUST ANSWER & BE

HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR EVERYTHING THAT

THEY DO REGARDING THE GOVERNANCE OF

CRICKET IN THE REGION .

Their Sycophants in the Sports Media
have possibly got their Talking Points
to tell US , what a Great Job they are doing .

It is very interesting that they say
they have made a Profit , yet in the
longer versions of the game . Our
Players are at or near the bottom of
International Cricket thanks to the
WICBC that is overloaded with useless
Personnel .

IT AINT ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY THEY

MAKE ; IT IS ABOUT THE FACT THAT

OUR PLAYERS IN THE LONGER VERSIONS

OF THE GAME ARE PISS POOR .

It is these factors that are very
unattractive to Financial Sponsors .
Unfortunately the people in the WICBC
have not yet figured out this freaking fact .

THEY MUST ALL GO , THE SOONER THE

BETTER FOR CRICKET IN THE REGION ,

AND LET THEM TAKE THEIR BLASTED 1929

STRUCTURE WITH THEM .

I am encouraged about 2 A team tours for our young men. This will be a plus in the coming fiscal year.

I want to see the "ins and out" of the age group tours promised before jumping for joy.
