“WICB needs to take responsibility for the fall for WI cricket.” - Ramnaresh Sarwan, former WI captain

“The West Indies Cricket Board is the most unprofessional in the world…Cameron is 'immature', 'arrogant' and 'not having West Indies cricket at heart'…a dictator… I think we had enough as players.” - Dwayne Bravo

“When is the last time a critic paid one your bills? Always remember that when you start to give them your energy.” - Dave Cameron, President of WICB, now CWI (Cricket West Indies)

A few years ago, Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Viv Richards, Wes Hall and Andy Roberts, uniting under the umbrella banner of Cricket Legends, met with Grenada premier Keith Mitchell, chairman of the Prime Ministerial Committee on the Governance of West Indies Cricket, which had appointed the CARICOM cricket review panel in the wake of yet another crisis that emerged following the West Indies’ withdrawal from India’s tour in October 2014.

“During the last two decades, many different presidents and CEOs have led the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and yet, its performance has declined steadily with each passing year,” the Legends said in a joint media release.

“The Board is an oligarchic structure that considers itself answerable to no one but itself. It is one of the few sporting institutions that have remained virtually unchanged in attitude and structure in the last 70 years or more.” Roger Harper, Charlie Griffith, Deryck Murray, (who was also member of the CARICOM review panel), leg-spinner Dinanath Ramnarine, (previous president of the West Indies Players Association) and opening batsman, Desmond Haynes were only a few former stars who concurred with CARICOM’s recommendation that the WICB become accountable to CARICOM authorities, and that the board should “undergo structural adjustment.”

Recently, a CWI press release recently confirmed that off-spinner Sunil Narine, batsman Darren Bravo and all-rounders Kieron Powell and Andre Russell, all refused to proudly don their West Indies flannels, preferring to participate in the Pakistan Super league instead of taking part in the ICC World Cup qualifiers in Bangladesh in March. The World Cup is cricket’s biggest stage. Former captains and star batsmen Chris Gayle, Ronnie Sarwan and the iconic Sir Viv Richards, Darren Sammy, and many other players have condemned similar complaints about the Board’s callous treatment of players in the past.

Dream on !

Emperor Dave is going nowhere! He will have to be dragged out kicking and screaming

These people rarely voluntarily demit office. They cling to the office like it is life itself and their entire identity, it seems, is bound up in the office they hold.

Lest we forget his predecessor was around the WICB in one capacity or another for the better part of 40 years, and still wanted yet another term at the very end.

Another chicken little - oh yeah, the sky is falling!

You have hit the nail on the head. Everyone knows Dave has to go. Everyone says Dave has to go. But who in the Caribbean has the balls to drag him out? They all talk a good talk but they can't do shit.
