MINUTES OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING : FEBRUARY 2014

WEST INDIES PLAYERS’ ASSOCIATION (“WIPA”)

Mr. Dwayne Bravo then stated the he support 100% the proposal but certain conditions must be discussed, one of them being no pay drop for the senior team and that the other being salary be raised to compensate the loss of the sponsorship fee.

He agreed that first class players need the raise and the retainer; he made the point that it was long over due. He said he hoped the first class understood what WIPA was trying to do and that all players stand together as one. He wanted WIPA to speak to the board on the issue of relocation for the WICB retained players and the pay grade structure being raised

Bravo did agree on the forfeit of the sponsorship fee ?  :-\

Mr. Shivnarine Chanderpaul then raised the question of Senior players match fees and whether the proposal will affect their payment; and West Indian match fees are at the lower end of the scale compared to other test playing cricketers. Mr. Hinds answered this by saying all these points will be raised with the WICB and to balance off the loss of the sponsorship fee a compromised must be reached to even out the difference.

Mr. Ramnaresh Sarwan then stated that he found the idea had some merit and that a meeting
must be held with players of the Senior West Indian team to get their views on it.

v.Mr. Hall informed the meeting that more information would be circulated via emails

to all members of WIPA before any final decision is made.

Mr. Shivnarine Chanderpaul then raised the question on who gives the retainer contracts and how many first class players will be retained. Mr. Hall responded that it will be each territorial board, which is mandatory under the proposal terms of reference, and that there will be a minimum of 15 players retained by each board.
