List of GCB’s wrongdoings being  investigated by police- HPS
  -IMC’s remit expected to be  discharged sooner than expected    Georgetown, GINA, February 2, 2012
Just as the resort to a cricket Interim  Management Committee (IMC) was re-justified, another legal challenge was  mounted by the discredited Guyana Cricket Board (GCB). 
              Head  of the Presidential Secretariat (HPS), Dr. Roger Luncheon at a post-Cabinet  press briefing at the Office of the President today said that the courts have  rejected the pleadings of the GCB which have been made in the face of some  incontrovertible truths, that was attested to by the disclosures of the list of  wrongdoings by this corrupted body in the exercise of its mandate.
              “Cabinet  felt that GCB’s foray into the court was an apt recognition into the  jurisdiction of the State. The GCB was characterised as an unaccountable,  irresponsible lot with little probity, particularly after the disclosures that  dealt with individual and collective wrongdoings,” Dr. Luncheon said.
  These  wrongdoings have been brought to the attention of the West Indies Cricket Board  (WICB), CARICOM, the Prime Minister Sub-Committee on Cricket and the  International Cricket Council (ICC) and are currently being investigated by the  police.
  The Cabinet  Secretary said that incidentally, neither the WICB nor the ICC responded  formally to those disclosures.
  Cabinet is aware  that it is now test match season and although the outcome of the T20 tournament  was encouraging, new challenges are surfacing; principal among which are  possibilities of loss of matches by Guyana, threats to financial well-being and  occurrences of breach of contract affecting Guyanese players and, overall  impact of the situation on the local economy.
  Cabinet  recognised the talented and committed members of the IMC and was reassured that  their remit would be discharged in a shorter time then predicted (six months  was the proffered life of the Committee).
  At a recent  press conference, Minister of Culture, Youth and Sport Dr. Frank Anthony, in  response to the ICC’s statements condemning the Government of Guyana for  dissolving the GCB said the ICC was fed “one-sided’ information.
  In this regards,  Government will be chronicling all that have transpired in Guyana with regards  to the administration of cricket prior to the formation of the IMC and, will  send that to the ICC to be taken into consideration and inform future  discussions.
  The Sport  Minister added the WICB was well aware of the state of cricket administration  in Guyana prior to Government’s involvement and took no part in resolving these  issues.
  He added too,  that Government wants to fix the state of Guyanese cricket and will work with  ICC and WICB in this regard; however, no threat of removal of matches from the  country will stand in the Government’s effort.

this will end up being a horrible mistake for wicb

                                                                     New York, New york- 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.


 

 This is a huge win for the WICB, all along  they wanted  the test match to be played in Dominica . Their aim is to have all matches  played only in  STlucia , Antigua  Dominica and Barbados

NOT to be confused with the Dominican Republic...

The Government OWNS the Stadiums....

and refused to give it to WICB...
