Pressure mounts on WICB to resist ‘hostile takeover’

BASSETERRE, St Kitts (CMC) – The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) is being called upon to strongly resist moves by the England, India and Australia to complete what some officials have labelled a ‘hostile takeover’ of the sport.

The former chairman of the West Indies Cricket Board’s Governance Committee, Charles Wilkin, QC, has made an appeal to WICB and regional governments in response to a white paper containing proposed changes to revamp ICC which will come before members as early as the quarterly meeting in Dubai on January 28 and 29.
The ICC working paper is proposing that Test cricket is played under a two-tier system in which England, India and Australia will not be demoted while teams like West Indies and New Zealand would find themselves in the second tier.
