Guyana Government reacts to WICB reasoning for relocating New Zealand Test

Mon, Jun 2, '14

LAST Saturday, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) announced the relocation of the third Test between West Indies and New Zealand from Guyana, citing failure to bring resolution to an ongoing dispute within the game in the country and the recent passing of the Cricket Administration Bill in the National Assembly.

However, last evening, the Government of Guyana rubbished the claims made by the WICB and issued the following release:
The Government of Guyana notes with deep regret the decision of the West Indies Cricket Board to relocate the Third Test between West Indies and New Zealand, from Guyana.
We observe with even greater concern, certain assertions made by the WICB regarding this matter and we feel compelled to respond.
