Bermuda board silent over contract talks

Less than a week before the national team depart for their tour of Africa, the Bermuda Cricket Board is still refusing to comment on the ongoing contractual wrangling which has cast a large shadow over the team’s preparations.

It is also still not clear if the BCB’s investigation into “discrepancies” in the salary compensation claim made by allrounder Lionel Cann is likely to reach a conclusion before the squad fly to Kenya next Tuesday. Cann, still recovering from surgery, wasn’t expected to make the trip to Kenya but had been pencilled into join the squad for later matches in South Africa.
