Good to see 'our' colleague, Yagga, moving up.

I guess he'll be positioning himself for the Presidency on the first opportunity.

Gwaan Yagga!

Presidency is supposed to be an unpaid position.
Poor Pat Rousseau is in his grave waiting for Cameron's answer as to whether or not he was receiving compensation re his presidency

You mean CEO Dr Hilaire got paid while President Dr Hunte worked for nothing? Who would've thought.

Last July, speaking as a guest on the Mason and Guest Show in Barbados, Dehring said the Windies brand was losing its potency in the world game.

The release said Dehring's previous work with CWI had cemented his status as a game-changer for cricket in the Caribbean, and with the execution of the 2007 World Cup, it said, "Dehring delivered one of the most complex and successful multi-nation sporting events in the Caribbean's history.

It was, he said, "no longer a relevant force, unfortunately.
"It's something we grew up loving. We all have an emotional attachment to it.
"But if we look at it objectively, chances are, in the T20 game or in the One-dayers, (TT) could probably muster enough resources to promote their national team far more and use it more efficiently than the West Indies can use whatever money the TT government and the private sector is giving Trinidadian cricketers for the West Indies team."

SportsMax founder Chris Dehring has been appointed the new CEO of Cricket West Indies (CWI).

By all measures it was was just that....apart from the West Indies not winning the title....but that was not one of our responsibilities.

As part of the team that pulled off a well organized and executed event, it has always been disheartening to see so many people on CC.com blindly criticizing that effort ...

Yes he said it last year on Mason that the countries should consider splitting and West Indies as a brand is no longer a relevant force.
