Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves has expressed his firm belief that the WICB must continue to push for the restructuring of West Indies Cricket.
“It is a work in progress, we have to really to push for the continued restructuring of West Indies Cricket to enhance its democratisation and to make sure it is sufficiently reflective of the public”.
Dr Gonsalves says that though the WICB is a private institution, he hopes that the discussions at the recent conference can help derive a plan of action to deal with those indiscretions.
He explained, “This is a public good that is cricket which is being run by a private entity, these are matters which are litigated in India and certain conclusions have been arrived at and we have to address this with greater urgency and I’m hoping that sometime during this meeting we can get some further discussions on this matter.”
At the last heads of government meeting, Grenada Prime Minister Keith Mitchell had stated, “We’re looking at legal options on the basis that cricket is a public good run by a private institution.”
The Grenadian was questioned on the progress of that legal analysis and stated that he is optimistic about the results he has received thus far.
