CWI says election of vice-president Bassarath was fair and transparent

Cricket West Indies (CWI) yesterday said that it stood by the validity of the election process where Trinidad’s Azim Bassarath was elected vice president of Cricket West Indies (CWI).

Bassarath was elected vice president at the Annual General Meeting on March 25, 2023 when Dr. Kishore Shallow was elected president.

However, the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) in a letter to CWI earlier this month, questioned the legality of Bassarath’s election since, according to the GCB, it had withdrawn its nomination of the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board president prior to the elections and since two nominations were required, Bassarath’s election was illegal.
