Re: Denesh Ramdin Statement - ketchim - 11-08-2014
I feel bad for this Chap BUT he made his own bed !
Irregardless of how militant the ODI and T20 players felt about their Union :
there were 3 TESTS to be played !
there was no need to walk off the Job in protest !

I wonder how many would continue working after having a 75% pay cut imposed on you and after you have tried talking?
Re: Denesh Ramdin Statement - ketchim - 11-08-2014
Irrelevant : that %age is a silly number !
regardless they all expressed in the minutes of the meeting that it was a noble idea :
to finance the Youths !
Their Salaries were unaffeacted : some other sponsor could have been found for that Fee !
Axing as captain breached my rights, says upset Ramdin - chairman - 11-08-2014
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) — West Indies wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin has again accused the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) of axing him as national captain because of his role in the abandoned tour of India, and says their actions are a breach of his rights.
Though the TTCB rejected the player's initial allegations in a statement earlier this week, Ramdin reiterated Thursday that he had been told that he would not be appointed captain because he did not "demonstrate proper leadership" in the West Indies players' controversial decision to abruptly quit the one-day series over a contracts and pay row with their union, WIPA.
"On Monday, November 3, 2014, I attended a meeting with the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board. At that meeting, I was told that since I did not demonstrate proper leadership in relation to the tour in India, I would be relieved of the captaincy and would be replaced by Rayad Emrit," Ramdin said in a statement.
"I understood this to be a punishment contrary to the undertaking given by the WICB at the meeting on Friday, October 31, 2014.
"I am also advised that this action is a breach of my rights having regard to the fact that the task force appointed by the WICB has not made any findings and has made no findings of misconduct against me."
Ramdin was one of the players who walked off the tour of India last month, sparking a bitter dispute between WIPA, the West Indies Cricket Board and themselves.
Their actions, which wrecked the one-day tour and also resulted in the cancellation of the three-Test tour, left the WICB facing a damages claim from the Indian Cricket Board of nearly US$42 million.
At a recent high-level meeting here chaired by St Vincent's Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves, Ramdin said the WICB had given the assurance that none of the players involved in the abandoned tour would face recrimination.
Further, the board announced it would set up a task force to investigate the reasons for the abandoned tour.
Ramdin said the TTCB's actions were a violation of these agreements, and claimed he had been even barred from attending a recent national team practice session.
"I feel compelled to state that on my return from India I was restricted from attendance at a practice session with the Trinidad and Tobago team on Thursday, October 30, 2014," Ramdin said in the statement.
"Although I felt hurt and embarrassed, I knew that I should remain committed to my responsibilities."
Ramdin said he also remained fully dedicated to Trinidad and Tobago and West Indies cricket.
In a statement earlier this week, the TTCB said that Ramdin's anticipated unavailability because of his upcoming commitments with West Indies was the only reason for his non-appointment as captain.

He and his cohorts should also help to pay the fine that is being charged on WICB
Re: Denesh Ramdin Statement - Mail - 11-08-2014
The fact is, the WIPA did not reflect in the MoU/ CBA what was asked of its members.
Re: Denesh Ramdin Statement - ketchim - 11-08-2014
The ONLY fact is that the Captain and his Union had a problem !
and the Captain walked off his Job !
