THE Court of Appeal on January 20 reserved its ruling in an appeal and cross-appeal over the governance of cricket in Trinidad and Tobago, including whether a High Court judge was entitled to order an investigation into a leaked audit involving the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board of Control.

The appeal arises from a January 2020 decision by Justice Frank Seepersad, who dismissed most of a legal challenge brought by former West Indies cricketer Dinanath Ramnarine against the TTCB but ordered the board to establish an independent committee to investigate concerns raised in a National Gas Company audit into its financial affairs.

The TTCB appealed that specific order, while Ramnarine has cross-appealed the judge’s findings on the interpretation of the board’s constitution and the eligibility of affiliates to vote in its elections.
