Julian Hunte cops some flak

Posted on 09/02/2007 in West Indies cricket

It's barely been a month since Julian Hunte took over as president of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), but he's already facing some strong criticism.Tony Becca of the Jamaica Gleaner doesn't approve of the president's move to make Dinanath Ramnarine, the president of the West Indies Players Association (WIPA), a director of the WICB.


Hunte probably believes that move will make Ramnarine feel more a part of things and therefore make him less combative, there are many who, with justification, believe that is something that cannot work, and for the simple reason that Ramnarine, the president of WIPA, will know every move the board makes.

There are those who know that it is difficult to serve two masters and believe they know to which of his two masters Ramnarine will be faithful.

Becca also says that the decision to bring the Under-19s and the Combined Campuses and Colleges team into regional competitions "will prove a waste of time and money".
