WICB NAMES 14-MAN SQUAD FOR VB SERIES
by WICB
ST. JOHN'S, Antigua - The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) on Friday announced a squad of 14 to participate in the VB Triangular Series which takes place in Australia next January.
The squad, which leaves for Australia on 29 December, is as follows:
Brian Lara (captain)
Shivnarine Chanderpaul (vice captain)
Christopher Gayle
Wavell Hinds
Ramnaresh Sarwan
Marlon Samuels
Dwayne Bravo
Ryan Hinds
Courtney Browne
Ian Bradshaw
Pedro Collins
Mervyn Dillon
Reon King
Xavier Marshall
The official touring party is led by Anthony Howard, Manager and includes Bennett King, Head Coach; David Moore, Assistant Coach/Analyst; Stephen Partridge, Physiotherapist and Imran Khan, Media Liaison.
ISSUES STILL UNRESOLVED
The WICB said that there were a number of issues still unresolved and it had agreed to the terms and conditions outlined for the tour on the basis that some of them were applicable only for this VB triangular series. This, the Board said, had also been done in the spirit of compromise urged by the CARICOM Prime Ministerial sub-Committee on Cricket.
The Board was also encouraged by the fact that its major sponsor Digicel had accepted a warranty clause, inserted in the Match/Tour contract for the VB Series as a short-term measure, in the interest of sending the best team to the Series. This clause is intended to ensure that, during this tour, there will be no actions taken to damage the interests of the sponsor.
In this context, Board President, Teddy Griffith wrote to the chairman of the Prime Ministerial sub-committee on cricket, the Prime Minister of Grenada, Dr .Keith Mitchell, urging him to follow up on his stated commitment to discuss with Cable and Wireless, the implications coming out of the warranty included in the players Match/Tour contract for the Australia tour.
In a response to the President's letter, the Prime Minister said that, in his discussions with Cable and Wireless, he had been assured that the company accepted that the West Indies Cricket Board had sole copyright of West Indies Cricket and anything pertinent thereto. He had been further assured that Cable and Wireless would do nothing in the future to display any advertisement, both in the electronic and print form, to give the impression that any relationship between itself and any of the players (both individually and collectively) was in their capacity as members of the West Indies Cricket team.
