New WICB visits Guyana today

– main aim is to resolve ongoing cricket dispute

New President of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), Dave Cameron, has announced plans to visit Guyana to try and resolve a protracted dispute between the government and the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB).
Cameron, who defeated incumbent Dr. Julian Hunte 7-5 in WICB elections last week, will be in the Land of Many Waters today to hold discussions with the major players involved in the dispute. He is expected to host a press conference at the Guyana National Stadium, Providence at18:00hrs today.
The Government and GCB have been locked in an impasse over the establishment of a Government backed Interim Management Committee (IMC) following disputed elections in 2011.
“I know there are issues in Guyana and we plan to address them in the best way possible,” Cameron said.
“I will be in Guyana next week and top of the agenda is the discussion on going forward”.
The WICB has endorsed the GCB while refusing to recognize the IMC which was setup by government and headed by former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd to oversee the administration of the game.
Cameron said he also plans to tackle a number of concerns raised by territorial boards during his campaign including public perception of WICB as an ‘old boys club’, the governance issue, as well as  West Indies failure to be successful in all formats of the game.
The 42-year-old said mending the fractured relationship between WICB and the West Indies Players Association (WIPA) is also a top priority of his administration in the months ahead.
“I have met with the WIPA president [Wavell Hinds] informally and we’ve discussed a number of issues which I would now take to my board and management before any announcement is made,” the new president said.
