WICB chief to resume duty on Tuesday

Donald Peters, the chief executive of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), has confirmed he will return to office starting Tuesday. Peters, who had been put on administrative leave last week, says he has sorted out differences with Julian Hunte, the board president, in a meeting held on Friday.

"I just want to say that everything has been resolved, and I will be back out to work on Tuesday," Peters told the Trinidad and Tobago Express. Peters had been sent on leave last week and Tony Deyal, the corporate services manager, had reportedly been fired after an information leak led to questions over misappropriation of board funds. Accusations surfaced over the use of WICB funds to renovate Hunte's official St Lucian office, which the board denied last week.

Last Monday, Peters said he had received an email from Hunte informing him of the move, which left him "completely confused, surprised, and overwhelmed". He had also been asked to meet the WICB's finance, audit and human resources committee. Peters agreed to stand before the committee after his meeting with Hunte, despite reservations from his lawyers. Peters had succeeded Bruce Aanensen as chief executive in November 2007.
