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.
