Up to late Monday there was no update from the Government, but all indications are that Jamaica will not host games at the International Cricket Council (ICC) Twenty20 (T20) World Cup set for the Caribbean and the United States next year.

If you want to see how seriously these overpaid, money-grabbing, not too bright leaders of Jamaica run things, just look at the state of the rotting, broken down goat pen in Trelawny once known as the Trelawny Stadium. These people would rather let this facility rot than allow it to remain useful and functional as it keeps reminding them that it was built by the government of the other party. That's the height of these people's thinking. These people have calculated and decided they won't be able to fill their pockets or get some political benefit. So, you're waiting in vain for them to bid.
