THE WEST INDIES Cricket Board (WICB) is contemplating legal action in the face of what it considers to be allegations of “wrongdoing and misappropriation of WICB funds”.
Pointing to calls for a forensic audit of the WICB’s finances in a media report carried last week by noted cricket website, ESPNCricinfo, the board said yesterday these were “without any basis in fact” and “completely false, and seriously damaging” to the board’s members and auditors.
Further, the WICB slammed the calls by former officials as an “emotional reaction” to its decision to snub the recent CARICOM Governance Report which had recommended the immediate dissolution of the board.
“The WICB notes that these allegations appear triggered not by fact or evidence but an emotional reaction to the WICB’s response to the CARICOM sub committee’s report and other matters. These officials have completely ignored the written responses of the WICB,” the board said in a release. (CMC)
