Guyana Cricket Board (GCB)secretary , Anand Sanasie, has said that removing the Third Test  between West Indies versus Australia from Guyana to Dominica is a huge loss for the for the country and for the Guyana cricket board.
Sanasie stated  during a brief interview on  Thursday in which he said a number of businesses to include taxi drivers, hotels, restaurants and vendors will be devastated  by the WICB’s decision to withdraw the match from Guyana, which  is slated for April 23 to 27, to Windsor Park in Dominica.
“The long term, it is that we may not be able to bid and host and reliably do so because there would be a lot questions as to if the games can stay here so the Guyana Cricket Board itself may not be putting in any bids to have games there in the short-term.

Sanasie, , added that the GCB had managed to obtain a court order, dictating that their offices, which had been padlocked by Guyana’s Sports Ministry over the Board’s refusal to hand over the relevant documents connected with the business of the GCB, be re-opened.
The order, he said, stated a deadline of 3 pm on Thursday for the locks to be removed.
He also stated , we were able to secure a court order ordering the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports to remove the padlocks on our offices within 24 hours which commenced yesterday (Tuesday) at 3 pm. So by 3 pm today (Wednesday) if it is not removed, we have an order from the courts to remove the locks. So that is the present situation. We will take it day by day as it goes,” Sanasie said.
The Test Series will open with five ODI’s starting in St Vincent on March 16 and continue with the start of the first of two T20 matches on March 27 in St Lucia. The first of three Test matches will start on April 11 in Barbados.
