West In­dies Crick­et Board (WICB) pres­i­den­tial can­di­date Dave Cameron has writ­ten the Bar­ba­dos Crick­et As­so­ci­a­tion (BCA) in­di­cat­ing that he had not ini­ti­at­ed le­gal pro­ceed­ings against them.

How­ev­er, he called on the BCA to look at the claims made in an ex­clu­sive ar­ti­cle writ­ten in the Trinidad Guardian which, if true, point­ed to a vi­o­la­tion of es­tab­lished rules and reg­u­la­tions.

The Guardian ar­ti­cle stat­ed that Cameron was not treat­ed fair­ly be­cause his man­i­festo was sent out nine hours af­ter the BCA re­ceived it al­though their mo­tion to sup­port Dr Julien Hunte was ar­rived at be­fore they asked both Hunte and him­self for their man­i­festos.

The ar­ti­cle cit­ed le­gal opin­ion which in­di­cat­ed that the mo­tion to sup­port Hunte had died when the BCA came af­ter and in­vit­ed both men to send in their man­i­festos.The WICB will meet in a cou­ple days' time in Bar­ba­dos to de­cide be­tween the two men.

Dear Sirs: Re: Cameron Con­sid­ers le­gal ac­tion

I have no­ticed an ar­ti­cle print­ed in the Guardian News­pa­pers in Trinidad and To­ba­go en­ti­tled "Cameron con­sid­ers le­gal ac­tion". I would like to in­form you that the ac­tion was not ini­ti­at­ed by me. Need­less to say, in the true spir­it of the game and the in­sti­tu­tion of crick­et, if the al­le­ga­tions in the ar­ti­cle are true, they go against the es­tab­lished rules and reg­u­la­tions.

I am reg­is­ter­ing my dis­con­tent about the mat­ter of how my re­quest to ad­dress the BCA ex­ec­u­tive was ig­nored and sub­se­quent­ly the re­ceipt and dis­sem­i­na­tion of my man­i­festo. In keep­ing with free and fair elec­tion, and if the al­le­ga­tion that the process has been dis­tort­ed is true, I re­spect­ful­ly ask that it be re­solved.

Kind re­gards,

W. Dave Cameron
