Cracks in the CARICOM-led opposition to the West Indies Cricket Board have come out wide open with Antigua and Barbuda Prime Minister Gaston Browne categorically opposing the dissolution of the WICB. Browne is a member of the CARICOM's sub-committee on cricket.
Last November, the CARICOM panel, appointed by the Prime Ministerial Committee on the Governance of West Indies Cricket, had called the WICB "antiquated" and suggested it be replaced by an interim board. However, Browne has said such a move would only push West Indies cricket into further turmoil.
"I categorically reject the call for the dissolution of the West Indies Cricket Board, and I do so in my capacity as chairman of the committee governing West Indies cricket," Browne said in his address to mark the WICB's 90th year of recognition by the ICC. "I believe firmly that to dissolve the board would be to plunge West Indies cricket into further chaos and confusion."

WICB supporters try to give the impression that dissolution of the board would mean the end of cricket in the West Indies.

It is exceedingly rare to see or hear
about a Person biting the hand that feeds Him or Her .
That being the case I am not surprised by the comments made by the Prime
Minister of Antigua & Barbuda .
Especially since the Worst International Cricket Board in the
Commonwealth has its Headquarters in
Antigua .
