Letter to the Sports Editor Guyanese reps on the now Cricket West Indies is not about the game’s development

Mar 10, 2019 Sports

Dear Editor,
The West Indies in the late 1970s, had a side recognized as unofficial world champions, a reputation they retained throughout the1980s. The 1990s and 2000s, however West Indies cricket declined, largely owing to the failure of the West Indies Board to move the game to a professional sport. Victories in the 2014 Champions Trophy and runner-up in 2016 Champions Trophy left some hopeful, but it was not until the inception of Twenty20 cricket that the West Indies regained a place among the cricketing elite and as a added bonus, the West Indies also became the first to win both the men’s and women’s World Twenty20 on the same day, as the women team beat three-time defending champion Australia for their first ICC title.
With the Annual General Meeting of Cricket West Indies around the corner, I do hope representatives from Guyana Cricket Board if legal, and thinking about prosperous developments, then Mr. Dave Cameron must be voted out and what is also a matter of concern is the women’s position.
Yours -in- Sport,
Parmanand Ram.
