The newly-appointed CSA interim board met to discuss a wide range of matters on Tuesday.
\t On Friday, internet and international calls were cut off across the West African nation in anticipation of the election results, according to locals and international observers in the capital, Conakry.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago’s Prime Minister, Dr. Keith Rowley said he was “cautiously optimistic” the entire six-week Caribbean Premier League could be staged here later this year but cautioned that the tournament would have to align with the country’s existing COVID-19 protocols, especially since it would involve “serious logistical arrangements”.
Rowley said there had been no discussions with CPL officials as yet but once there was contact made, any planning to host the tournament would take place under guidance from the country’s Chief Medical Officer.
“We don’t have a proper handle yet but we are cautiously optimistic if the CPL authorities would like to host the tournament in Trinidad,” Rowley said here yesterday.
“So we would be happy to host it within the confines of what we do here but they’re some serious logistical arrangements because we will want to preserve our environment and that tournament will involve a number of persons coming into Trinidad and Tobago.”
He added: “A tournament in Trinidad and Tobago involving the teams of CPL with players coming from all over the world or all over the region, that creates a more complex arrangement because if they’re coming from areas where they’re problems and right now virtually everywhere in the world has problems.

John David Beckett Taylor, the Baron of Warwick, was born on September 21, 1952 in Birmingham, England. His parents, Derief, a professional cricket player, and Enid, a nurse, were originally from Jamaica. Taylor was educated at Moseley Grammar School and later studied English Literature and Law at Keele University before moving to London to pursue a career in Law. He was called to the Bar in 1978 and began a successful career as a Barrister. In 1981 he married his first wife, Jean Katherine Binysh, a pediatrician, with whom he had three children.
Taylor became involved in politics in 1990 when he was named special advisor to the Home Secretary and the Home Office Ministers in the Conservative government of Prime Minister John Major. In 1992, as the Conservative candidate, he contested but lost the parliamentary seat for Cheltenham. There was significant opposition to his candidacy from members of his own party because of his race. The notoriety of the election, however, gave Taylor the opportunity to work in television where he was invited to host a national morning show giving viewers legal advice. He later became a producer for the BBC.
In 1996 Taylor was offered and accepted a life peerage from the Government. He was created Baron Taylor of Warwick in the County of Warwickshire by Queen Elizabeth II and became the youngest person and the first person of African ancestry to sit in the House of Lords. In 1997 Taylor introduced a Bill into the House that later became the Criminal Evidence (Amendment) Act of 1997.
Taylor also held several board and committee memberships including: Greater London Further Education Funding Council; Vice-President, British Board of Film Classification; and the Independent Football Commission. Several of his contemporaries found him distant and unwilling to be involved with his fellow Lords. Despite his critics, Taylor also had allies, many of whom believed and publicly asserted that he would become a Cabinet Minister in a future Conservative Government. In 1997 Taylor was

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – Interim batting coach Floyd Reifer believes once West Indies’ batsmen can produce consistently, the Caribbean side can successfully defend the coveted Wisden Trophy and win their first series in England in 32 years.
Pointing to the likes of Jason Holder, experienced seamer Kemar Roach and speedster Shannon Gabriel, Reifer said the tourists had the core of a strong bowling attack and once the Windies batsmen could post challenging totals, England could be placed under pressure.
And while the Caribbean side pulled off an astonishing victory at Leeds in the last tour of England three years ago, they lost the two others Tests inside three days to concede the series.
Reifer stressed that while he expected pitches to be good for batting, seam-friendly conditions were always present in England, and the touring side’s batsmen needed to make the necessary adjustments.
West Indies left the Caribbean on Monday for the series and will undergo two weeks of quarantine at Old Trafford while also intensifying preparations for the first Test set to bowl off at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton on July 8.
