Hunte in the race for another term as President of the WICB
Dave Cameron
Julian Hunte
Clive Lloyd
There have been talks that current President Julian Hunte is considering another term at the head of the West Indies Cricket Board. Hunte is favoured to win the election but the word is that at least three countries are supporting the current Vice President Jamaican Dave Cameron who is also running for the post.
It is also rumored that a former executive of the West Indies Players Association is campaigning for former captain Guyanese Clive Lloyd to be the President.
Cricket circles stated that had Lloyd not gotten involved with the IMC, he stood a very good chance of being elected. However it was reported in the Barbados Nation Newspaper that the IMC is dissolved and the GCB is back in control of cricket in Guyana. If this is true then Mr. Lloyd may very well seek the nomination for this important position at the helm of the WICB with the blessings of the Guyana Cricket Board.
In an invited comment Hon. Secretary of the Guyana cricket Board Anand Sanasie said Mr. Lloyd did not make a formal request to the Board, to be nominated. Sanasie also stated that if he does, his request will be put to the executive committee of the GCB. He however opined that the WICB articles provide that you must have a seconder for the nomination to move forward and in the present situation it may be difficult to obtain, with two other candidates in the race who started campaigning a long time ago and have incumbency on their side.
Many feel that with the West Indies team performing creditably, the Launching of the Caribbean Premier League and the Sagicor Performance Centre coming on stream, the members may very well maintain the status quo in WICB administration.
The WICB Annual General Meeting is slated for 27th March, 2013.
