Dave Cameron is by no means totally satisfied. But you can tell from his general demeanour that he's growing more confident about the financial fortunes of West Indies cricket.

Based on Cameron's mien, and against the background of the US$42-million squabble between the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), it was inevitable that the Jamaica Observer would pose the question: Is the WICB solvent?

"Absolutely," Cameron, the WICB president, answered without hesitation.

"The West Indies Cricket Board this year will turn a surplus, and I use the word very carefully, because it's not profit, it's a surplus in excess of US$2 million," Cameron told last Thursday's sitting of the Jamaica Observer Press Club.

"We currently have a deficit of about US$5 million, but our business model says that we will be able to continue to be in business and be able to wipe out that deficit within three years," he added.

WICB IS A Solvent...dissolving cricket in the WI...

Nuff ODI World Cup money to spend, and more on the way next Spring via the T20 World Cup. ICC subsidies and cover up lots of incompetence and mismanagement.

LOL, Funny but true

So then why did they condescend to meet
with the Regional Governments ; WICBC
is akin to Blimp , filled with Hot Air .The question is does this include the
42 million dollars that the BCCI is proposing to sue the WICBC ???

In reply to POINT

is BCCI suing?

In reply to camos

The BCCI has not shown its Cards yet . The point is however , the cancellation of the Tour inflicted losses of Revenue . So far the BCCI have stated that it is around 42 million dollars , now that
cannot be construed as being Pocket Change .

In reply to POINT

there is a reason BCCI avoiding the court,$42 mil is not pocket change and you would have to spell out to the court how you arrive at the figure .
