GCB publicises letter concerning CWI VP election

On the heels of a Cricket West Indies (CWI) missive regarding a letter sent by the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) concerning the election of CWI Vice President Azim Bassarath, the local cricketing body has publicised the letter.
Read below the full letter:
“The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB had, at the subject meeting, submitted a letter and made clear its position that it had withdrawn its nomination of Mr Azim Bassarath for the post of Vice President of Cricket West Indies (CWI). That the process was allowed to continue constitutes, in our opinion, a flawed and illegal election of Mr Bassarath.
The GCB had on previous occasions requested of CWI information pertaining to the legal basis by which that particular election was held. Also, we had expected to have been provided with copies of the legal opinions on this matter that the CWI contends it had received. During the virtual meeting held on the morning of September 21, 2023 at the request of CWI, the GCB once again unequivocally and unwaveringly stated its position that Mr Bassarath was illegally occupying the position of Vice President of CWI and must demit office in order to facilitate a new and legal process. Unfortunately, nothing of consequence came out of the meeting as there was no consensus reached on this contentious matter.
As a result, the GCB summoned an urgent virtual meeting of its Executive Members at 05:30 pm of the very day (September 21, 2023) to discuss and decide on the GCB’s next course of action.
The Executive Members having carefully considered this matter have unanimously decided to demand the resignation of Mr Azim Bassarath from the position of CWI Vice President.
Should there be non-compliance within fourteen (14) days of the date of this letter, the GCB, as a responsible and progressive shareholder of CWI, will resort to legal recourse as advised by our Attorneys and issue a press release accordingly.”
