PRESIDENT of the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA), Joel Garner, who is seeking re-election tomorrow under a second successive challenge from Conde Riley, has denied his charge that the Everton Weekes Centre of Excellence has been closed.
In a report in yesterday’s DAILY NATION, Riley attributed what he said were recent disappointing performances by national youth teams at West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) tournaments to “slackness and neglect”.
According to Riley, the slackness became apparent with the closing of the Centre of Excellence and the management of the WICB tournaments.
But Garner, the legendary West Indies fast bowler, bounced back insisting it was “inaccurate” to imply that the centre had been abandoned.
