WICB expect defeat in Digicel case

The West Indies Cricket Board expect to be forced to withdraw their sanction for the Stanford Super Series following their case with telecommunications company Digicel in London's High Court.

Digicel took legal action ahead of the match between the Stanford Super Stars XI and England on November 1, claiming they had branding rights because of their overall sponsorship with the WICB.

The WICB are preparing a statement in anticipation of being forced to remove their sanction for the game or face being in breach of their contract with Digicel, believing they have lost the case.

WICB chief executive Dr Donald Peters said:: "We understand the arbitrator has ruled against the West Indies Cricket Board and at this point we are trying to evaluate what the terms of the ruling are before we make any statement."

When asked whether the High Court ruling had been communicated to the WICB, he replied: "We haven't heard that but are fairly certain that that was the direction it was going.

"As soon as my board has been informed there will be a statement."
