Queen’s Park manager Jeffrey Guillen is calling on president of the T&T Cricket Board (T&TCB) Azim Bassarath to resign if it is proven that comments made on Sunil Narine’s bowling action which has been circulated via e-mail were made by him.
Guillen said the comments re Narine’s bowling action which were copied to the entire executive of the T&TCB from a confirmed and known e-mail address were in his view, unbecoming of a president. “Nevertheless, what’s much more disturbing was his published denial via a press release on Sunday where he disassociated himself from the alleged e- mail and reserved the right to legal recourse.”
Guillen said one of the most important qualities of a leader was integrity. “We must at all times hold our leaders to the highest standards. We must all agree on the importance of complete honesty in everything they all do, both internally and externally. The core of integrity is truthfulness.”
