TTCB Executive to rule on improper conduct charge

The allegation of improper conduct was made during a West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) youth tournament abroad. The situation garnered tremendous national interest with the TT CB hosting a press conference to clarify the nature of the investigation.

While remaining mum on what the allegation was concerning, the TT CB insisted that it was not sexual in nature. After a preliminary investigation done by a committee which consisted of TT CB president Azim Bassarath and 2nd vice president Lalman Kowlessar, they decided to refer the matter to the TT CB National Disciplinary Committee.

Chief Executive Officer of the TT CB Suruj Ragoonath, yesterday said last night’s meeting was important for the TT CB to make a a determination on their next course of action.

The local official has been suspended pending the findings of the investigation.

Ragoonath said, “The investigating committee have submitted their report to the disciplinary committee and they had their investigation. The report was sent to us (at the TT CB), and it will go before our executive. We are going to have an executive meeting, and then the executives need to examine the situation and then take the appropriate course of action.”
