November 29, 2011TRINIDAD and Tobago’s cricketers made
history when eight young talented players lined up for West Indies
selection against India in a five-match One-Day International Series
which began on Tuesday in Cuttack.
The five-match rubber continues on December 2 (Visakhapatnam),
December 5 (Ahmedabad), December 8 (Indore) and ends on December 11
(Chennai).
In the opening ODI encounter five T&T players made the cut, an
accomplishment that has made officials of the T&T Cricket Board

unprecedented success. [more...] |

Cricket promoters urged to respect rules
November 25, 2011THE TRINIDAD and Tobago Cricket Board (T&TCB) is
urging persons interested in promoting and organizing cricket

cricketers in unauthorized competitions, as they seek to maximize their
earning potential will attract careful scrutiny.

said they are not seeking to restrict the cricketers from plying their
trade but will work assiduously to ensure that cricket promoters/organisers
and players adhere to the established procedures.

opportunity to earn some renumeration for their skills but we want to
make it abundantly clear that it will not be at the expense of
fulfilling certain obligations specifically relating to getting the

competition staged locally,” said Bassarath. [more...] |

recognized authority for the management and administration of cricket in
the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. It has been in existence in various
incarnations since 1956. The Board oversees 8 zones (including Tobago),
over 150 teams and directly supervises some 20 competitions per year. In
addition, there are several affiliated organizations, including the

for information about cricket in Trinidad and Tobago to administrators,
fans, the media and other stake holders.
The Board sees its primary role as re-enforcing the
cricketing infrastructure in the country to enable our teams to develop
to their full potential and to enhance the standard of cricket in
Trinidad and Tobago and the West Indies.
