THE TRINIDAD and Tobago Cricket Board recently started a review of its internal organisational structure and processes.
The board management structure is being re-examined as it relates to utilisation of resources, in light of the changing, and at times challenging cricket and economic landscapes.
The disciplinary process of the board involves three committees, namely:
• A National Disciplinary Committee
• A National Appeals Committee
• A Tribunal
The TTCB committees have been strengthened to ensure free, fair and expeditious handling of all disciplinary issues coming before the board
They are set up to deal with both on-field, and off-field matters related to the playing, and/or administration of the sport in Trinidad and Tobago.
Two such issues are presently occupying the attention of the committees.
One relates to an issue of points allocation in a weather-affected match, with implications for promotion in the Championship Division (North/ Central Zone) involving a protest by Queen’s Park about a fixture between Monroe Road and Santa Cruz.
The other matter deals with an official report about the conduct and behaviour of TTCB board member Dinanath Ramnarine at Central Zonal Council level.
In the recent past, members have also gone beyond the board’s internal processes, and engaged the High Court of Trinidad and Tobago.
However the TTCB has always conducted its affairs in keeping with its constitution, first drafted in 1980 and since reviewed on several occasions. It was incorporated as an Act of Parliament, Act No 34 of 1989.
