President of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Dave Cameron says the organisation’s membership will decide whether or not he contests the 2017 elections.
The Jamaican, who received eight of the 12 votes on offer from affiliates in 2015, believes his work over the allotted two-year team must speak for itself.
“My own view on things is would the shareholders — the territorial boards — want me to continue to lead West Indies cricket (considering) where we are at today? We will be publishing our accounts in the next couple of weeks and soon we have our AGM and our accounts are published, but for the first time in recent West Indies (history), outside of the World Cup, we actually made a substantial surplus,” he said.
First elected president of the WICB in 2012, when he defeated then incumbent President Julian Hunte, Cameron said the fruits of his board’s labours would (become) more evident within the next year.

You better start giving serious consideration to contesting the next WICB Presidential elections.
You cannot sit back and expect change...you have to make it happen.
Chrissy for WICB President. Let the campaign begin in Ernest.

It is very , very , interesting that
there is no mention of :
THE CURRENT 89 YEARS OLD STRUCTURE
Once again Cameron & Co are delving
in the land of Obfuscation , & Deception .
Frankly THEY ALL MUST GO , each of them
are wedded to this 89 years old Structure because it gives them extraordinary Power Regarding Cricket
in the Region .
This is precisely why they have absolutely no intention of changing the Structure . Worse yet the International Cricket Cabal supports
this Jackassery .
So when I read that Tom , Dick & Harry bemoaning what has happened to West Indies Cricket , I have to conclude that they don't have Mirrors
in their Houses .
It is these Morons wo for decades have aided & abetted the various WICBC Cricket Boards in their Arrogance , Incompetence ; Ineptness
& Stupidity .
While making asinine pronouncements
about Governments not intervening in Cricket . If that is true , why didn't the WICBC & the ICC go to Court in Guyana , and speak up for the Guyana Cricket Board , when the
Guyana Government filed a case against the GCB ?????
The International Cricket Cabal has
allowed the Worst International Cricket Board in the Commonwealth ,
aka , the WICBC to become a Rogue
International Cricket Board by refusing to admonish the WICBC regarding its 89 years old Structure .
Then individuals state that the WICBC must take on Board what the CARICOM
Report stated .
LET ME REMIND ALL , THAT THERE WERE
5 PERSONS ON THAT PANEL , THE WICBC
APPOINTED 3 MEMBERS ; THE REGIONAL
GOVERNMENTS APPOINTED 2 MEMBERS .
Obviously , at least one Member of the Panel appointed by the WICBC agreed with the 2 Members appointed
by the Regional Governments .
Yet despite this , Cameron & Co are fighting Tooth & Nail to have the 89 years old Structure remain unchanged . Surely they cannot be seen as serious People , imagine that they are married to a Structure that was
inaugurated in 1927 .
The People in the WICBC are obviously devoid of shame ; because as it is very well known , they have commissioned several Reports and swiftly discarded them .
Frankly they have Bamboozled the Public , by these Charades . As I have stated before , they are BUMS .
because when they wanted to host the 2007 Cricket World Cup , they went to the Regional Governments with hat in Hand asking for assistance in making the 2007 World Cup successful .
The Regional Governments did ALL that
was required of them , and the 2007 Cricket World Cup was successful from every perspective .
About 2 years or so ago , the Regional Governments asked them to
implement the changes recommended by the Patterson Report ; the BUMS bluntly refused to do that ; they commissioned another Report , which they then swiftly discarded .
Now what I have stated here aint not Fairy Tale or is it a Figment of my
Imagination , it is ALL TRUE . This is why in my opinion they must ALL
leave .

Why don't you wait for the proof of what he is contending?
We will be publishing our accounts in the next couple of weeks and soon we have our AGM and our accounts are published, but for the first time in recent West Indies (history), outside of the World Cup, we actually made a substantial surplus

If You have money in an Off Shore Bank , you can say anything Publicly about
making a substantial Surplus .
Interestingly the Apologists for the WICBC , perpetually whine that it has no money to do what needs to be done .
Once again WE are witnessing another
Grand Charade .
All in an attempt to state that the 89 years old Structure is Splendid . If
anyone believes this , they will no doubt also believe in the Tooth Fairy.
Now if as they say they are flush with Cash , let them have Longer Camps and more Warm up Matches , and
help young Promising Players . Help the Struggling Regional Teams .Get
Proper Umpires , Have Pitches Properly Prepared .
If what I have stated above is not done then WE will all know that this is merely another attempt to bamboozle the General Public . It is
amazing that suddenly they are reporting to the Public that they made a Substantial Surplus .
Evidently , now that the WICBC is under scrutiny , they boldly proclaim that they are Flush with Cash . This
is truly Amazing . So WE are to swallow this Propaganda , Hook line &
Sinker .
Surplus or not Cameron & Co must be removed from the governance of Cricket in the Region . The sooner that happens the better Cricket in the Region will be .
These utterances are designed to allow the 89 years old Structure remain in Place . I hope that the
Regional Governments , do not fall for this Trick .
The Regional Governments will be derelict in their Duty , if they do not insist that there must be Serious
Structural Changes to Cricket in the Region , & the current Members of the WICBC MUST demit their Offices .
There must be absolutely no backing down on these two things ; because as
I have already stated :
AT LEAST ONE OF THE 3 MEMBERS
SELECTED BY THE WICBC VOTED TO HAVE
THE PEOPLE IN THE WICBC REMOVED FROM
THE GOVERNANCE OF CRICKET IN THE
REGION .
Folks , this is a very , very serious indictment of the WICBC , and must not be treated lightly ; or casually
brushed aside .
