Dear Editor,
As a candidate nominated by the Barbados Cricket Association and the Guyana Cricket Board to run for the post of Vice President of Cricket West Indies Inc.

3. Whether it is true that the President and Vice President of CWI failed or refused to consult with the members of the Guyana Cricket Board and the full Board of Directors of CWI in respect of the said date set for the Guyana Cricket Board elections.
4. If it is that the aforesaid at 1 to 3 above happened, then further disclose:
(a) What was the date of the said consultation with the said Minister;
(b) On what date did CWI receive my (Calvin G Hope’s) nomination papers and acknowledged the receipt of same;

In the interest of transparency and accountability, it is incumbent on the President and the Vice President of CWI to give full disclosure on the above matters, so as to be clear for all concerned that the acts related to the said consultation and the decision thereto can stand up to scrutiny.
