CWI director comes to the defence of former president

At least one director has to come to the defence of former Cricket West Indies (CWI) president Dave Cameron following claims of mismanagement in an audit report leaked to cricket website espncricinfo earlier this week. Cameron has also rubbished the claims and has been backed by current director, Barbadian Calvin Hope who was heavily involved in board decisions. 

Regional commentator Fazeer Mohammed earlier this week questioned the role of the region's directors following accusations of the Cameron administration mismanaging and failing to deal with long-term sustainability following an audit from PKF. Mohammed argued that if incompetence or corruption is raised against Cameron, the same should go for the directors. 

But Hope who has been a CWI director since 2017 was in shock with some of the claims published in the report.
Concerns were raised about Cameron getting a US $50,000 bonus after securing a projected US $128 million from the ICC over an eight year period, but Hope stressed that the Jamaican had the full support of the 17 directors as the board upgraded from a $14 million deal.

Cameron's leadership style has always been questioned, but Hope stopped short of saying the current situation borders on the line of character assassination. Both Hope and Mohammed were speaking on Hitz 92 FM's Sports Grill earlier this week.
