The West Indies Cricket Board has been informed by the International Cricket Council that it will hear the case to allow the reinstatement of batsman Marlon Samuels in the West Indies team for the Cricket World Cup 2003 in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Kenya on Friday.
The ICC on Thursday contacted Rev. Wes Hall, president of the WICB, in South Africa and notified him of the meeting, after a formal written application by Roger Brathwaite, acting chief executive officer of the WICB, and telephone communication between Rev. Hall and Malcolm Speed, chief executive officer of the ICC, who also heads the World Cup technical committee.
"The president has already stated that we will do all in our power to have Marlon play in the CWC 2003 and resolution of this matter now rests with the ICC," remarked Michael Hall, the chief cricket operations officer of the WICB.
West Indies face South Africa in the opening match of the CWC 2003 on Sunday at Newlands in Cape Town.
