SIR David Simmons and Sir Wes Hall asserted yesterday that they first learned through the press of their appointment to a task force to “deal with” the US$47.2 million claims of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) against the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for the team’s premature withdrawal from last month’s tour of India.
The new task force is unconnected to that proposed at the WICB directors’ emergency meeting in Barbados October 21 that was to review the overall circumstances of debacle in India.
It is part of the so-called Hyatt Accord, an agreement forged at Friday’s meeting at the Hyatt Hotel in Port-of-Spain to end the three-way dispute between the WICB, the West Indies Players Association (WIPA) and the players in India under ODI captain Dwayne Bravo.

The task force was nonsense anyway. With the players forgiven and a $42 m bs demand hanging over their collective heads as a result of their actions, the findings of the task force is useless, cuz you don't even need that to determine what should be done with Cameron and Muirhead.

“I have followed the developments in India and the subsequent repercussions with a deep sense of distress and embarrassment,” Hall said. “I have expressed my views on the issue but was completely surprised to have read my name as one of the three members of this task force.”
“If, through my experience as player and administrator and as minister in the Barbados government over a period of ten years would be helpful in this situation, of course I would be willing to help as West Indies cricket is close to my heart,” Hall added. “Still, there is always a proper protocol for conducting business and this is not one.”
Hall should understand that it is WICB that he is dealing with... With all his experience he should know better.

Why don't you pen a front page article on it and call him out.
You seem to think that soundbites on here will make a difference.

Replace Hall with a younger appropriate person perhaps a woman for diversity.
Donna Simmons perhaps? Portia Simpson? ….

Yuh know you are something else. No interest in the non-stop 'cluelessness' of the WICB.
