WICB explains CLT20 participation fee issue

WIPA: Guyanese team kept in the dark

The following is a statement from the West Indies Players' Association:

WIPA shares the Guyanese players concern about being kept in the dark about the arrangements for their participation in the forthcoming Airtel CLT20 scheduled for September 2010 in South Africa.
 
The WICB has announced that it intends to retain one third of the participation fee of 500K.
WIPA is unaware of any other Board retaining any part of the Participation Fee. WIPA is of the view that retaining such a large sum could have a direct negative impact on Guyanese cricket and its players. In fact, WIPA understands that no monies were deducted from the TTCB for last year’s participation.
