Hilaire letter to Chanderpaul

and the madness continues... They want to do their nastiness and expect people to be quiet. Who the fact they think they are?

Dear Shivnarine,

Re: Interview on Line & Length Network

I refer to an interview you participated in on May 5 2011 on the Line & Length Network in which you spoke of matters relating to West Indies cricket.

As a centrally contracted player, we are in the first instance concerned with your participation in such an interview of which we had no prior knowledge and for which the WICB granted no approval. Further, even had you independently decided to engage in such an interview, we must remind you of the duty enshrined in your retainer contract – to ensure that you do not do anything that, in the WICB’s reasonable opinion, is likely to denigrate the WICB, a WICB Team, another Player or any WICB Sponsor or which reveals any information that, in the WICB’s reasonable opinion, is confidential to the WICB.

We also refer you to Rules 6 and 9 of the WICB Code of Conduct, which respectively prohibit unbecoming behaviour that could bring the game of cricket into disrepute or be harmful to the interests of cricket, and players and team officials from making public or media comment which is detrimental to the interests of the game.

It is our opinion that several of the comments made by you in the course of the abovementioned interview have the effect of denigrating the WICB and in particular the Head Coach, the Selectors, the CEO and the Executive Members of the Board. We further consider that your comments were ill-advised and detrimental to the interests of the game.

While we consider it unfortunate that you choose to make public comments on issues about which you may feel dissatisfied, rather than seeking to have discussions with me, any member of Team Management or any other WICB official; we would like to give you the opportunity to explain your comments and the reasons for same.

We would appreciate a response from you within 10 days of receipt of this letter.

Sincerely,

Ernest Hilaire
Chief Executive Officer
West Indies Cricket Board Inc.

Well said Mapoui

The sknunt know fuh write now...? What happened to Minister Anthony's reply or the second Chanderpaul letter?

West Indies is a Minnow and CEO busy fighting with players ... Looks like WICB mission is to destroy the cricket rather than developing it Only in the West Indies....
