It's the culture of West Indies cricket administration that needs changing

I have been following the arguments being put forward in the Caribbean concerning the upcoming board elections, and it certainly seems more like a political campaign than what used to be a simple vote to pick the next president of the WICB.

I can't remember ever getting involved publicly supporting anyone for the post before and I am not doing so now. But since two people have chosen to publish my name in their articles on the matter, I would like to put a few facts in the public domain for those who probably are unaware of them.

One person accused me of defending the players' actions in the debacle that took place in India and of being dishonest in that defence. I have written two articles on that abandonment, both of which were not attacked or criticised by the WICB, because they were factual. I am certain if they had not been, the opportunity would not have been lost in tearing them apart. I know for a fact that the first article, written while I was still in India, was sent to the directors, who were told to come to the next meeting with comments. But no comment was made publicly because, as I said earlier, it was factual.
