We are profoundly disgusted at this decision

Dear Sir,
We at the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) would like to register our profound disgust over the stopping of our two West Indies female players from playing in the Superbet Female Inter-County Tournament.
Last Saturday, we submitted the names of our fourteen-member squad to the GCB, and also clearly stated that the two players — Shemaine Campbelle and Sheneta Grimmond — would join the team once they return from playing for the West Indies in the World Cup.
This was done on the advice of a senior employee of the GCB after I had personally sought clarification on the eligibility of the players. The advice was that the players were on West Indies duties, and the policy, over the decades, was that they could play.
The BCB was in regular contact with the players, who indicated their willingness to play, as they were totally dedicated to Berbice Cricket.
To our great shock, our manager, Ms Angela Haniff, on the eve of the match, received a phone call from an employee of the board (GCB), informing her that the two West Indies players cannot play. No reason was given for this strange decision.
The BCB is shocked that the GCB would stop two of Guyana’s best female players from playing in the only tournament that it hosts for females. Surely, Campbelle and Grimmond would improve the standard of the tournament, and also attract more spectators to the venue.
We also find it very alarming that the GCB employee who conveyed the shocking message is a player/manager of the Demerara team, our opponents in the crucial final match. It is the view of the BCB that the players were stopped from playing to prevent us from winning the title.
The girls were not on a personal vacation, nor were they having fun; they were representing the West Indies at the highest level. Surely, the Guyana Cricket Board would not refuse to consider the selection of Romario Shepherd and Shimron Hetmyer after they return home from West Indies duties.
We would also like to know if the presence of our best players, once they are available, would not be a boost for the tournament and the sponsor. I would be very surprised if any sponsor would object to the presence of two West Indies players in their tournament.
As a matter of concern, we would be copying this letter to the President of Cricket West Indies; WIPA; members of the media; and to the sponsor, Superbet.

Respectfully,
Hilbert Foster, MS
President – BCB
