– calls on CWI to adhere to Articles of Association

KAietThe Wakenaam Cricket Committee has thrown it full support behind Anand Sanasie and Calvin Hope for the President and Vice President respectively of the Cricket West Indies.
Guyanese Sanasie and Barbadian Hope will be looking to unseat the incumbent Ricky Skerritt and Dr. Kishore Shallow at today’s AGM. Sanasie is the current Secretary of the Guyana Cricket Board while Hope is the Vice President of the Barbados Cricket Association.
Speaking with Kaieteur Sport, Secretary of the WCC, Nazeer Mohamed said Sanasie leadership qualities have produced favourable results with Guyana winning the first class franchise and Regional U19 tournaments for five consecutive years. Mohamed stated that Sanasie’s experience as a cricket administrator should be fully utilised at the CWI level since his expertise can lead to the upward mobility of the game in the region.
“With Sanasie as Secretary of the GCB, Guyana now has an established academy where players are being given a decent chance to hone their skills. We have seen the emergence of Shimron Hetmyer and Keemo Paul, Captain and Vice Captain respectively of the victorious 2016 West Indies U19 team, Romario Shepherd, Sherfane Rutherford and Kevin Sinclair,” Mohamed added.
“We have also seen the birth of a local franchise league and the inter-county competitions now include a rest team. So more players are being given opportunities to showcase their talent and stake claims for selection on the national teams.”
Mohamed who is an executive on the Essequibo Cricket Board is calling on the CWI to adhere to the articles of Association.
It is understood that the GCB president Fizul Bacchus wrote to the CWI Corporate Secretary requesting that CWI auditors put systems in place for secret ballot.
