The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) election has taken a new mode of campaign as the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) has filed yet another court action against their parent body, the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB). This time, secretary of the BCB Angela Haniff is seeking to debar the Guyana Cricket Board from sending representatives to the West Indies Cricket Board.
Kaieteur Sport understands that this new action is intended to render the GCB ineligible to vote at the WICB Annual General Meeting so that their perceived support of incumbent president Julian Hunte can be thwarted.
This new development may create more problems for the WICB and more so for their local member and shareholder, the GCB.
The Guyana Cricket Board held its elections since 27th January 2013, yet the court documents filed seem to be questioning the legality of those elections on the basis of the GCB not being able to appoint representatives to the West Indies Cricket Board. Many in the cricketing fraternity are of the opinion that the current WICB Vice President Dave Cameron may have something to do with this new development as his visit to Guyana did not convince the GCB that he is the man for the job.
Barbados and the Leeward Islands have already pledged support for Hunte, while the Windward Islands will likely vote for him as he is a St. Lucian and the incumbent. Trinidad and Guyana have not yet publicly declared who they are supporting.
The action lists, as plaintiffs, Keith Foster, Anil Beharry, Hubern Evans, Julian Cambridge, Angela Haniff, Raymond Haniff, Romash Munna and Shabeer Baksh. The defendants are the Executive Members of the Guyana Cricket Board.
Kaieteur Sport was told that the matter filed exparte will be heard on Monday 25th March 2013 by Justice Diane Inshanally.
The Guyanese public felt elated when the GCB announced that international cricket returned to Guyana but we may have to wait even longer. The West Indies Cricket Board may very well decide that it is no longer possible to fix any cricket for Guyana.
Judge Diane Inshanally and Angela Haniff may very well decide who wins the WICB elections.
