The Jamaica Observer understands that a no-confidence motion is to be made against local cricket boss Wilford ‘Billy’ Heaven at the JCA’s annual general meeting, set for later this month.

A draft resolution was circulated yesterday, bearing the signature of St James Cricket Association president Cecil Fletcher and seconded by Gautam Kumaraswamy of Kensington Cricket Club.

The document said the members who signed had “lost confidence in the leadership” of Heaven.

There was a list of reasons, including the alleged “manipulated process used to support” cricket legend Joel Garner for the 2015 West Indies Cricket Board presidential election, scheduled to be held in March at the regional body’s AGM.

On Tuesday, the JCA board of directors voted 10-6 to support Barbadian Garner ahead of Jamaican incumbent Whycliffe ‘Dave’ Cameron for the post of WICB president. (Jamaica Observer)
