Roger Brathwaite Quotations

There is nobody to fill the breach. When you look at the future tours schedule, there is no one else available. Everybody is playing.

We have not specifically identified which Champions Trophy within that time period that we would like to host, we've only submitted an interest to host ICC events at this stage.

We (West Indies) are due to visit England for Tests and One-Day matches immediately after the World Cup , so it was impossible to fit in the Australia tour. We are hoping to play four Tests in England that summer.

We would now be able to play after the players return from New Zealand. That's very good and it would help with getting better arrangements and better marketing and promotions in place.

There are going to be discussions between the BCA treasurer and the WICB finance manager with a view to a repayment plan and to get a number of issues resolved between the WICB and the BCA.

The WICB is pleased that the BCCI has agreed to maintain the four-Test schedule and we in turn have agreed to adjust the One-Day International (ODI) schedule to eliminate back-to-back matches.

In adjusting the itinerary for the Zimbabwe tour we have attempted to ensure that international cricket is played in Guyana, as they would have been without cricket with the cancellation of the Test scheduled for Guyana.

I guess it would be safe to say there would be no Test matches in the Caribbean next year.

The ICC have contacted all of their member countries to find out if any of them have an interest in hosting ICC events from 2007 to 2015.
