KINGSTON, Jamaica (CMC) — West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) President Dave Cameron has caved under pressure from Caricom and will meet with Heads of Government in Grenada on December 4, to discuss the recommendations of the Cricket Governance Review report.

The WICB head came under fire recently from chairman of the Caricom’s Cricket Governance Committee, Grenada’s Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell, over his reluctance to schedule an “urgent meeting” to discuss the report, which has as its main proposal the “immediate dissolution” of the WICB.

Speaking last week in Dominica at the OECS Summit, Mitchell accused Cameron of an “amazing level of disrespect” after the WICB president refused to budge on a decision not to entertain a meeting with Caricom Heads before the scheduled Directors Meeting in St Lucia on December 12.

However, Cameron on Monday apologised for any offence he may have caused Caricom, but said he needed time to speak to his shareholders.

Despite agreeing to the December 4 meeting, however, Cameron maintained that governments should not influence the decisions of independent sporting organisations.

The Cricket Review Panel was appointed by Caricom’s Cricket Governance earlier this year and tasked with the responsibility of assessing the governance structure in West Indies cricket and making recommendations.

The panel was chaired by University of the West Indies (UWI) Cave Hill Campus principal, Professor Eudine Barriteau.
