WEST Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president Dave Cameron expects that the body of work during his tenure will speak for itself when it comes to the possibility of being re-elected next year.
Despite coming under pressure for issues such as the abandoned tour of India, Cameron won the last electoral contest by a convincing majority. Cameron received eight of the 12 votes on offer from affiliates in 2015, after first being elected president of the WICB in 2012, when he defeated then incumbent president Julian Hunte.
“My own view on things is: would the shareholders, the territorial boards, want me to continue to lead West Indies cricket (considering) where we are at today? We will be publishing our accounts in the next couple of weeks and soon we have our AGM and our accounts are published, but for the first time in recent West Indies (history), outside of the World Cup, we actually made a substantial surplus,” Cameron told Antigua Observer.
With a major point of criticism being the performance of the regional Test team, particularly after a poor tour of Australia, Cameron maintains, fixing it will be a focus of his administration.
“My objective is that by 2017 we would have a Test team to be proud of and that’s what we are working towards. We have the World T20 (women) here in 2018 and so my job is to ensure that I put the WICB in a firm and a very strong position for the future that’s sustainable.” (Sportsmax.com)
