The Guyana Cricket Board has won its case in the High Court of Guyana, challenging the election of Azim Bassarath as Vice President of Cricket West Indies.
The case was brought against Cricket West Indies Inc., Bassarath, and the election’s returning officer Gregory Nicholls.
Through counsel, the respondents contended that the court was without jurisdiction to hear the matter and that disputes of this nature should be resolved through arbitration.
However, the court decided that it did have jurisdiction, and granted the orders sought by the GCB.
CWI plans to immediately file an appeal.
The election of Bassarath as CWI Vice President was held at the 24th annual general meeting in Antigua on March 25, 2023.
He was unopposed and gained six votes, two voted against, while four abstained.
