Bruce Golding, Jamaica’s prime minister has joined the top level CARICOM leaders in assessing the current state of the West Indies cricket. He is in Trinidad and Tobago attending the 17th meeting of the Prime Ministerial Sub-Committee on Cricket (PMSC).
The prime minister office informed that he held critical and in-depth discussions on the current state of West Indies cricket, and looked at the status of relations between the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and the West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA), the Jamaica Information Service reported.
The prime ministerial sub-committee said that West Indies cricket belongs to the people of the region, and the stewardship of the game must be accountable.
It also called for a number of recommendations such as an assessment of arrangements for governance of West Indies cricket, and to determine steps in the best interests of the game in the region.
It will also revisit the recommendations of the Final Report of the Committee on Governance of West Indies Cricket of 2007 – the Patterson Report – to find the extent to which implementation would impact West Indies Cricket.
The committee has also asked the WICB, WIPA and other stakeholders to determine their respective positions regarding the future.
Golding said, “West Indies cricket belongs to the people, and a way has to be found to ensure that it is the people’s interest that is represented in the management of cricket and to ensure that the people who manage West Indies cricket are held accountable to the people”.
