President of Cricket West Indies Dr Kishore Shallow on Wednesday called out several of what he deems ‘untruths’ associated with the body.

The CWI Boss gave a stinging response to several claims made in a statement issued jointly by the Guyana Cricket Board and the Barbados Cricket Association regarding their concerns on CWI’s governance reform.

Shallow speaking exclusively with Chronicle Sports said, “The statement is decorated by untruths, total misrepresentation of the facts and that is unfortunate since both directors who signed that document, should have a better recollection of the fact.”
Shallow noted that the poor memory of his fellow directors aside, he is elated at their intended attendance at this important meeting on Sunday.
“Their memory has failed them somewhat and hopefully they would sanitize themselves or socialize themselves with the facts sooner rather than later. Notwithstanding it is positive that, they are attending the meeting, they will be representatives from those two shareholder GCB and BCA, their absence in the past has been a source of regret. I do look forward to their participation at the meeting on Sunday and hopefully we can ventilate all the matters relating to governance and effect some changes that will strength our organization.”

The statement, signed by BCA’s Conde Riley and GCB’s Bissondyal Singh stated they will be at the February 9th meeting to discuss the proposed resolutions to amend the Articles of Association in line with governance recommendation and resolutions regarding elected position made a number of allegations against the board.

It further added that they have since dispatched a letter to CARICOM Secretary General Dr. Carla Barnett citing their concerns and proposed way forward as it relates to the items being tabled surrounding amendment of the section of changing the tenure in office of the President and Vice President from two years to three years with term limits of three consecutive terms.
The BCA and GCB in their statement also took umbrage to remarks made about their stance publicly for not attending the last meeting calling it such unprofessional and a breach of the Code of Ethics.
