WICB hits back at detractors

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has hit back at its detractors by insisting it is trying to find ways to keep its best players competing for the regional   team.

The WICB has faced calls recently for the entire board to be dissolved following the men's team's World Twenty20 victory in India last month.

Among them, West Indies legends led by Sir Garry Sobers and Sir Viv Richards have called for the board to be dissolved. 

But, in a document released on Wednesday, the WICB said it was trying to resolve the issues upsetting its top-level players. 

The WICB said it will meet with the players to discuss the issue at a retreat in the summer.

The board also promised to make changes but insisted that it "so far has lived up to its promises", adding that  results, including  the men's and women's teams' success at the ICC Twenty20 World Cups last month, showed that it was doing something right.
