Jamzone Masters’ Cup called off

TIMES INT'L

By Rajiv Bisnauth

The Jamzone Masters’ Cup T20 competition was called off on Tuesday after unsuccessful negotiations with the Hits and Jams Group, West Indies Cricket Board, Guyana Cricket Board and other stakeholders.
The Hits and Jams Group had to enter into talks with the regional and local governing bodies after the WICB Manager of Operations, Roland Holder, had written to territorial board warning that if their players participated in this weekend’s tournament they would have faced likely sanctions since the tournament was not approved.

In a statement issued last Tuesday evening by the HJ Group it stated the it was regrettable that the tournament was called off, highlighting further that their decision was “as a result of the ongoing conflict which has resulted in all cricket in Guyana not being played.”
The statement continued, “The Hits and Jams Group which was in negotiation with the WICB and the GCB and all other partners including sponsors was hoping that the issues surrounding the hosting of the Masters Cup Tournament would have been resolved in time for this weekend’s staging of the T20 competition.
Hits and Jams has since informed the International cricketers who were contracted for the tournament of our decision.
“HJ remains committed to the growth and development of cricket and all other entertainment and sporting activities in Guyana and we look forward to continue playing our part in that development.
“We will continue to work along with the West Indies cricket administrators in the future as we have given our commitment to the hosting of the tournament.”
