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.
\t This was the third time that Conde matched-up against Diallo. Before the election, observers raised concerns that an electoral dispute could reignite ethnic tensions between Guinea's largest ethnic groups.
PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC): Cricket West Indies (CWI) boss Ricky Skerritt says Chris Gayle will likely be penalized by the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) for his public tirade against his former Jamaica Tallawahs franchise and its assistant coach Ramnaresh Sarwan.
Although describing the controversy as “interpersonal battles” being fought in the public eye, Skerritt said Gayle, who has been signed to St. Lucia Zouks for the 2020 season, had brought the CPL into disrepute.
In a series of videos posted on his YouTube channel late last month, Gayle was highly critical of Sarwan, his former West Indies teammate, describing him as a “snake” and accusing him of conspiring to get him released from the franchise.
Personally, I think that was unfortunate, but the process will have to take its course and that process will get triggered because he is a contracted player in the CPL within the West Indies league,” Skerritt said.
“If a player is contracted to a club or a franchise or to Cricket West Indies … that kind of behavior brings that contract into some level of disrepute.
On the heels of news that Andre Russell has withdrawn from the 2020 Lankan Premier League it has emerged that the all-rounder did not request a No Objection Certificate from Cricket West Indies that would allow him to play in the Sri Lanka T20 league.

LAHORE — Pakistan spin-bowling all-rounder Shadab Khan has admitted that it would be foolish to underestimate Zimbabwe in the upcoming limited overs series. Shadab has been given more responsibility lately as he was named Pakistan’s vice-captain in limited overs cricket. Even though many people expect Pakistan to easily beat Zimbabwe, the 22-year-old doesn’t want to fall into the trap of becoming overconfident. “We won’t be taking Zimbabwe lightly at all. We are fully focused on the job at hand and during the season we are very keen on improving both our game and fitness,” he was quoted as saying by the Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) website. “Many players discuss fitness and how to improve in that area, which is a positive sign indeed. For us, each and every point in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League matters. A convincing victory against Zimbabwe will hold us in good stead when we depart for the tour of New Zealand. “We had an excellent build-up to the Zimbabwe series with the National T20 Cup. The tournament was highly competitive. Such tournaments will help narrow the gap between domestic and international levels. The revamped domestic system surely provides that opportunity to the players.” Pakistan’s series against Zimbabwe will consist of three one-day internationals (ODIs) and three T20 Internationals, with all the matches taking place in Rawalpindi. The ODIs will be played from October 30 to November 3, while the T20 Internationals will run from November 7 to 10. Meanwhile, Khan’s inclusion in the first ODI against Zimbabwe is in doubt after the energetic cricketer missed the second intra-squad practice match at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore due to a leg strain. Khan was supposed to lead the Pakistan Whites side before being sidelined due to the strain. The PCB medical staff is currently monitoring the status of the all-rounder. According to sources, the management is unlikely to take a chance as far as Khan’s fitness is concerned. It should be noted that the all-rounder was supposed to assume the responsibility of vice-captain under captain Babar Azam in the limited-overs series against Zimbabwe. Series schedule Oct 30-Nov 1 ODI, Rawalpindi Nov 1 — second ODI, Rawalpindi Nov 3 — third ODI, Rawalpindi Nov 7 — first T20I, Lahore Nov 8 — second T20I, Lahore Nov 10 — third T20I, Lahore — Online
My attention was drawn to a news release supposedly issued by Minister of Labour and Social Security Shahine Robinson last Tuesday regarding the robbery of care packages in Enfield, St Mary, last weekend.
An argument in the House of Representatives last week in which Jamaica Labour Party and People's National Party representatives haggled over who a stretch of road in Westmoreland Central should be named after, opened up old wounds.
A report surfaced last week that Raymond Pryce would replace Dr Winston De La Haye as the Opposition People's National Party's candidate in St Catherine East Central for the next general election.
Just look at what is happening in the constituencies, for example, St Andrew Eastern, St Andrew North Western, St Andrew West Central, and St Catherine East Central and you will see that the PNP is sending a clear message that it has no intention of winning the next general election.
One such is Powell's direct competitor, Kraigg Brathwaite, a Bajan who is averaging 33 in Tests and is more boring to watch than former cricketer and finance minister of Jamaica Noel “Crab” Nethersole.
