West Indies: Bajans Backing Hall And Trinidadian Lequay

The Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) is not supporting incumbent Pat Rousseau in his quest to be returned as president of the West Indies Cricket Board. The BCA is backing the nomination of president of the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board of Control Alloy Lequay for the May 12 election to be held at the Guyana Pegasus Hotel, Georgetown, Guyana. Rousseau's nomination was backed by the Leeward Islands Cricket Board while the Guyana Cricket Board is supporting Lequay. Meanwhile, former West Indies fast bowler and manager Rev. Wes Hall was nominated by the BCA for the post of vice-president which was supported by the Trinidad board. His opponents will be incumbent Clarvis Joseph and president of the Guyana Cricket Board, Chetram Singh. Nominations for the posts closed on Wednesday. The region will be eagerly looking forward to the elections which come at one of the most turbulent periods in West Indian cricket as the fortunes of the once giants of the game have been reversed. With the fortunes of the West Indies slipping, cricket fans throughout the region have been voicing their concern about what has caused the demise of the game in a region that at one stage produced talent as if it was coming off a production line.
