WICB Under Scrutiny News Topic

Bassarath not fighting Cameron

President of the T&T Cricket Board (TTCB) Azim Bassarath said yesterday that he will not be contesting the presidency of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) against the incumbent Dave Cameron.
Cameron has been under attack recently for his role in the WICB’s handling of the recent aborted tour of India which left the Board with a debt of US $41.9 million, and there is a lot of speculation surrounding his continued stay at the head of the embattled Board.

Even St Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Ralph Gonzales has called for his head.

However, a defiant Bassarath said yesterday that he was not interested in the position. Bassarath said his T&T Board will convene an executive meeting today and will formalise a position on the WICB’s election. “The directors will all get their chance to voice an opinion and at the end of it, we will come up with a position and as usual we will stick to whatever that decision is.”
