PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – A well-known legal figure is one of a group of administrators seeking to challenge Deryck Murray and his “Friends of Cricket” team for control of the Trinidad & Tobago Cricket Board.
The T&T Newsday daily newspaper has reported that Justice Anthony Lucky, a former Appeal Court judge in the two-island republic, is a central figure in the move to unseat the current executive under the leadership of Murray.
The election of officers to the T&TCB executive committee takes places at the annual general meeting which will be held on the last Saturday in October.
The newspaper stated that the desire to challenge Murray and his fellow officers has been heightened, following the T&TCB’s recent decision to stay away from the annual general meeting of the West Indies Cricket Board a fortnight ago.
The daily added that many cricket officials in T&T were not in favour of the T&TCB’s boycott, since they felt the executive were abdicating their responsibility to be present at the WICB meeting and participate in its deliberations while at the same time agitating for change.
Lucky is currently on the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea based in Hamburg, Germany. He is also a member of the Disciplinary Committee of the WICB.
He is a highly decorated legal figure with his work well known in T&T and St Vincent & the Grenadines. He is also currently the president of the Scout Association of T&T.
Lucky was the chairman of the Sponsorship Negotiations Review Committee of the WICB which found that a company was used to mask the identity of brokers and avoid revealing the identity of Digicel when the WICB asked Cable & Wireless to match their rival’s bid five years ago.
