PM Simpson-Miller to meet Julian Hunte today
Jamaican government is confirming that president of the West Indies Cricket Board Julian Hunte has requested a meeting with Prime Minister Portia Simpson Miller today in a bid to diffuse tension over the exclusion of former captain West Indies captain Chris Gayle from the West Indies team as well as other issues in regional cricket.
“No time has been set but a request has been made for the president of the WICB to meet with the prime minister on Wednesday,” Senator Sandrea Falconer, Minister Without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for information, told the Observer early Tuesday.
Falconer rejected as unfounded reports circulating in some circles that Hunte had set pre-conditions for the meeting.
“Nobody has set any conditions for a meeting with the prime minister of Jamaica … that has not been communicated to the Office of the Prime Minister and the prime minister of Jamaica would not agree to that,” Falconer said.
