Only the first choice for WCIB CEO

Only the First choice for WICB Chief Executive Officer

 

 

 

Will the best person get the Job?

 

The West Indies Cricket Board are about to appoint a Chief Executive Officer this week.

 

What should be the criteria?

 

Is it your Country of birth or rather what can you do for the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), in terms of enhancement and upgrade.

Certainly the image of the West Indies Cricket Board has been tarnished by all the incidents over the last five years in particular.

 

Yes, many will argue, that the location Antigua, may be a detriment to encouraging the best people to leave their current place of abode.

But I beg to differ, there must be a “Price” for such discomfort, and the WICB must take every avenue to achieve this.

 

It is too easy to give up on the best people, because they have said, “yes” but………..

 

And also, please forget about Nationality, if the facts are that Trinidad and Tobago because of its wealth of knowledge and advanced thinking is above the other Caribbean Islands, then so be it.

 

We need to ensure, we do not make the same mistakes of the past.

 

Please WICB; do not settle for third or fourth choices, our ideal is the first choice.

 

Even though some may suggest that President Kenneth Gordon wants it this way, so that he can continue his one-upmanship behaviour, we hope that is a fallacy.

 

Forget about the raging voices of distraction from all in the region and Barbados in particular, if they are still jealous of the number of selections earned by the top team in the region (Trinidad and Tobago) on the West Indies Team.

 

Don’t just put another “Bajan” to make some happy and West Indies Cricket “Big Losers”.

 

We all know that quality is essential if CRICKET is to go forward.

 

Otherwise we are heading “for the same thing, over and over.”

 

Is that what we want ?
