We are not a proactive and innovative society.
I am sure that the WICB is going to beg the BCCI to forgive us our debt as the WICB has been asking the WI cricket players to forgive them for all its mistakes in not putting the necessary player salary arrangements in place before the tour to India.
The main question now is: How may the WICB repay the BCCI almost US$42 million in debt? This is a sizeable amount to pay. I wish to suggest that a WICB Lotto be developed.
This will surely rake in the necessary funds. It will be a first for the Caribbean from my recollection. It can help boost interest in WI cricket.
Probably, the meeting in Grenada by the WICB and the Caricom Cricket Committee can take this and other suggestions into consideration.
I am sure that it will attract many local, regional and international gamblers. Peace.
