WICB to be renamed Cricket West Indies, commercial arm coming

Wed, Nov 18, '15

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados (CMC) -- A name change is coming for the West Indies Cricket Board as the beleaguered organisation looks to restructure its operations and create a distinct commercial arm.

The WICB will be renamed 'Cricket West Indies' and will focus on the governance aspect of the game while a commercial body which will be revealed in coming months, will address the business affairs of the organisation.

President Dave Cameron, speaking in the Cayman Islands last weekend, said this was one of the key strategic changes being undertaken by the WICB as it sought to improve its administration of the game.

"We have resolved to change the name of the WICB and we will be called Cricket West Indies," Cameron told Cayman Cricket's Annual Awards Dinner in George Town last Saturday.
