Berbice CB reprimands 5 players

Discarded West Indies spinner Veerasammy Permaul, national wicketkeeper/batsman Anthony Bramble, Jason Sinclair and off-spinner Troy Mathieson along with Jonathan Foo were recently reprimanded by the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) for indiscipline behaviour during the just concluded BCB/Berbice River Bridge 50-over final.
The five players were summoned by the Discipline Committee of the BCB for a hearing recently.
From the hearing, the following penalties were applied: Permaul – one year good behaviour bond and $15,000 fine; Bramble – one year good behaviour bond and $10,000 fine; Mathieson – one year good behaviour bond and $5000 fine, Sinclair – one year good behaviour bond and Foo – warning letter.
A release from the BCB stated that the BCB will not sit idly by and condone such behaviour from any of its cricketers irrespective of who they are.
The release further stated that the BCB has invested significantly over the 75 years of existence which was built on hard work and discipline from all and sundry.

The BCB has produced many players who represented the West Indies and has made the difference in the lives of many others and at no time, will the BCB sit idle and allow a breakdown in discipline among players.
“Cricket is a gentleman’s game and that must be the focus, being used to unite and not divide”.
The release also stated that the BCB is worried about the poor and hostile relationship that exists between the Rose Hall Town and Youth and Sports Club and Albion Community Centre.

The BCB hopes that its action would deter any player at any level from such behaviour and it is hoped that these two major clubs will stretch their hands of friendship and make peace and develop love and understanding.
