Nothing has been done as yet on ‘Cricket Bill’ by GOG
Michael Muirhead
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Michael Muirhead commenting on the ongoing dialogue between the WICB and the Guyana government concerning the issues plaguing the Guyana Cricket Board said nothing has been formalised with the new government as yet.
“Nothing has been formalised as yet but they will be looking at revising the position or taking a re-look at the position that was taken by the former government. You must remember that when this bill was passed, we had the support of the opposition at the time — the current government now. So I think it’s only right they would go back and look and see to right the wrong or correct what was passed or make some amendments (but) that has not yet been done,” the CEO said.
The Guyana government, in February of 2012, locked the Guyana Cricket Board out of its offices at Bourda Ground and appointed its own interim management committee headed by former Guyana and West Indies Captain Clive Lloyd.
The moves followed the Guyana High Court ruling the GCB a legal nonentity, because it had been in a long dispute over the results of an election in mid-2011. The government said it wanted to administer cricket in the former British colony to fight corruption and help end years of bickering between rival factions.
