Guyana finally to play in Airtel champions league

Vinode Mamchan

The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) and the Guyanese players prevented a major embarrassment by reaching an agreement to participate in the upcoming Airtel Champions League in South Africa. The GCB and the players were involved in a two-week long battle over terms and conditions outlined in their agreement to participate in the Champions League. There was an issue as far as sharing of the prize money and participation fee were concerned. The players got their representatives, the West Indies Players Association (WIPA) to represent them but the GCB failed to negotiate with them. The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) also got into the row, when they demanded 33 per cent of the participation fee of US$500,000, saying that they had invested heavily in staging the regional T20 cricket series.

Cricket Committee meets to examine critical issues

The WICB Cricket Committee today wrapped up an interactive two day meeting in Antigua.

Led by Chairman Joel Garner, the Committee discussed various issues including Retainer Contracts, Player Rankings, Selection Policy, the Schedule of Cricket for the next year and the Cricket Development Programme. Meeting at the WICB Headquarters, the Cricket Committee also reviewed the Combined Campuses and Colleges participation in the regional WICB competitions.

Sensational Foo stuns Bajans as Guyana snatch Caribbean 20/20 title


	Guyanese cricketing legend Clive Lloyd (left) presents Jonathan Foo with his accolade after his match winning innings for Guyana

It was just before mid-night on Saturday but Guyana flags were joyously waved and hundreds of Guyanese screamed in delight here at the Queens Park Oval as 19-year-old rookie Jonathon Foo left his mark on the Caribbean 20/20 championships with an astonishing exhibition of power-hitting and common sense to lift Guyana from the brink of defeat to a fantastic 1-wicket win over Barbados in a pulsating final under lights.
Guyana, chasing 134-5 made by Barbados, looked a beaten side at 85-8 with just three overs remaining before Foo, the first Guyanese 20/20 cricketer of Chinese origin, launched a stunning if not surprising assault on the Bajans bowlers to give the South Americans championship honours, the US$25,000 first prize and the right to represent the West Indies in the Champions League in South Africa from September 10-26.

But contract problem threatens team’s participation

West Indies representative Guyana are scheduled to open their Champions League campaign in South Africa on September 12 against Indian team Royal Challengers Bangalore but a contract dispute threatens to put their participation in the tournament in jeopardy.
Guyana, led by a heroic 17-ball unbeaten 42 from 19-year-old rookie Jonathan Foo stunned Barbados by one wicket to win the Caribbean 20/20 championship Saturday night in Trinidad to qualify for the South Africa trip and are set to play top IPL team Mumbai Indians, which should include Trinidadians Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo, in their second match on September 16 at Kingsmead in Durban but it is understood that the tournament contracts have not been signed by the Guyanese players.
