Blogs West Indies Cricketing Fiasco Getting Uglier
July 21st, 2009 by kapoorThere seems to be no solution to the financial debacle that has hit the West Indies cricket. For the uninitiated, this problem has been brewing since the World Cup was held in the island nations, a few seasons ago. Since that time, the players had been waiting for huge rewards that they had been promised after the conclusion of the cricket’s biggest showpiece.
However, that has not happened till date and I believe that the players have lost their patience with the WICB. On the other hand, the Board is severely cash-strapped, just about having made enough profits to pay for the investment that had been poured towards hosting the World Cup along with investing in the long-due cricket development programs in the island nations. I can only hope that there is some resolution towards this. I was hoping that the ICC and may be the cash-rich bodies like BCCI and the ECB could provide some sort of temporary, mutually-beneficial, financial assistance to sort out this issue.
