Cricket West Indies, CWI, announced that a quorum was not met for Friday’s pivotal meeting on governance reform, as the representatives of the Guyana Cricket Board and Barbados Cricket Association failed to attend having opted not to appoint two representatives as required by the company’s Articles of Association.
Guyana formally indicated their non-attendance, while Barbados did not provide a response.
This marks the second time that both the GCB and BCA have opted not to attend a meeting of the members, the first instance occurring in 2021.
All other full member shareholders from Jamaica Cricket Association, Leeward Islands Cricket Board, Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board, and Windward Islands Cricket Board were present and prepared to proceed.
CWI President Dr. Kishore Shallow expressed disappointment over the absence of these two key shareholders.
The meeting was convened to vote on implementing governance reforms proposed by the Wehby Report, which aims to modernise CWI’s governance framework.
