Legends intensify call for WICB to dissolve

Following a meeting last week in Grenada, a host of West Indies legends including Gary Sobers, Viv Richards, Wes Hall and Andy Roberts have called upon the WICB to dissolve the board, in line with the Caricom Cricket Review Panel's recommendation.

Additionally, they have suggested the appointment of an interim committee as part of the structural reforms that would enable the region's cricket to "develop and flourish".

Sobers and company met with Grenada's Prime Minister Dr Keith Mitchell, Chairman of the Prime Ministerial Committee on the governance of West Indies cricket last week Thursday in Grenada. 

Prime Minister Mitchell had appointed the review panel in the wake of the crisis that emerged in the wake of the West Indies' withdrawal from India's tour in October 2014.

In bemoaning  the board's "antiquated structure", the legends have also called for the the ICC to understand that the dysfunctional management and poor leadership of the WICB are harming the game and for Caricom to appoint an independent auditor to carry out a detailed forensic audit of the board.
