T&T Crick­et Board pres­i­dent Az­im Bas­sarath says they will be host­ing a pub­lic sym­po­sium to dis­cuss the way for­ward for the West In­dies game start­ing next month. He hopes that the TTCB will be able to pro­vide a blue­print to as­sist Crick­et West In­dies on how to de­vel­op the re­gion­al game go­ing for­ward fol­low­ing the talks.

The idea was first raised by Windies leg­end Sir Clive Lloyd af­ter the re­gion­al team was boot­ed out of the just-con­clud­ed ICC World Cup in Eng­land ear­ly af­ter los­ing six of its nine games.

Speak­ing at the prize dis­tri­b­u­tion func­tion of Ram­la­gan's Bal­main Unit­ed Lit­er­ary and Crick­et Club at the Sir Frank Wor­rell De­vel­op­ment Cen­tre in Cou­va, over the week­end, Bas­sarath an­nounced the plan and urged all crick­et lovers to take part in the sym­po­sium. He said the TTCB had in­formed CWI pres­i­dent Ricky Sker­ritt of the plan and re­ceived their bless­ings and ei­ther Sker­ritt or CWI vice-pres­i­dent Dr Kishore Shal­low will be here for the event.

Quite frankly I smell a Rat !!!!!!

It is unbelievable that Bassarath would make such a Statement . In essence HE seems to be trying to
informs US , That He has had a Saul
on the Road to Damascus moment .

If it was up to me ALL Current Members in the WICBC & the Regional
Cricket Boards need to be banned for
Life regarding being on any Cricket
Board .

THE TRUTH IS THAT THE WICBC HAS BEEN

IN THE GOVERNANCE OF WEST INDIES

CRICKET FOR WELL OVER 100 YEARS .

DURING THAT TIME THE WICBC , aka THE

WORST INTERNATIONAL CRICKET BOARD IN

THE WICBC .


IN ALL THOSE YEARS , DESPITE

COMMISSIONING SEVERAL REPORTS ;

THOSE IN THE WICBC HAVE BLUNTLY

REFUSED TO CHANGE THE STRUCTURE OF

THE WICBC & THE REGIONAL CRICKET

BOARDS .

As far as I am aware it aint All
Fools Day . Bassarath may be able to
Fool Some People ; but HE sure as Hell aint Fooling Me .!!!!!

Good gesture. It shouldn't be up to the TTCB alone to decide the way forward for WI cricket. All territorial boards should convene such

Bassarath just trying to be relevant.
His vote put Cameron back in.
He is suffocating Trinidad cricket.
All the good administrators of cricket in Trinidad is shying away from the TTCB.

What plan does he have for CWI moving forward?
He never backs the players but only CWI.
Remember the battles with Lara how much criticism he faced even from his own board.
So Bassarath just show up with your small world thinking cronies and have your meeting.
By the way why are you afraid to have open elections? Are you afraid to "lose" ?
If u are so confident of your role as administrator you would not have done everything you could to stay in power but have open and free elections. It is either you are a good person or not and in a lot of people's eyes you are just trying to "suck" up to Skerritt as you did for Cameron.
