Chief executive officer (CEO) of the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA), Dr Roland Toppin has denied reports of planned industrial action by employees leading up to or during the upcoming ICC T20 World Cup.

His comments have come following messages being circulated on Whatsapp over the weekend, where it suggested that industrial action was being planned by employees at the BCA in response to questionable decisions made by one of its managers in relation to the World Cup.

However, in a statement which was issued today by Dr Toppin, he staunchly denied the accusations.

“It has been brought to our attention that a text message is being widely circulated via the WhatsApp medium in which it is alleged, inter alia, that there is impending industrial action being contemplated by the members of staff of the BCA, and it is the BCA’s intention to treat the President of the Republic of Barbados, Her Excellency Dame Sandra Mason, her son and guests in a disrespectful manner during the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in June of this year.

I grew up hearing, "Trust and don't pay".
Only last November we heard the President of CWI, coming on a radio show out of Barbados saying, The final has not been decided, you trusted that lie.

You know more than the President?

It would help if you listened before speculating, Andrew Mason explained to the world that the Government of Barbados received a letter from the ICC, about the hosting of the finals.
Shallow wanted to sound big, so he came on the show to discredit the report, de man woke Conde Riley out of his sleep because the government forwarded the confirmation letter to the BCA.
Only yesterday the acting President of the BCA, outlined the work being done at the local ground is being paid for by the ICC.
The Prime Minister of Barbados and her cabinet could borrow millions, to get the work she wanted done because her government was informed by the ICC, as the Island hosting the final.
You learned something this evening, a WC is an ICC sanction event, the government is involved from the start, and is informed as to which country will be hosting the games and the final.
