Interim president calls for Murray’s reinstatement

by Michael Bascombe

ST GEORGE’S, Grenada, Jan 27 (CMC) – Garvin Taylor, the Grenada Cricket Association’s interim president, wants Junior Murray reinstated to the Windward Islands team for the remaining matches of the regional first-class tournament. And Taylor said that the GCA would be launching an investigation into the 39-year old’s omission from the lineup prior to the last series of matches. “We (GCA) will be attempting to get to the bottom of this issue,” Taylor said. “Based on what we have been told thus far, Murray needs to be reinstated and also deserves an apology.” The selectors issued a statement last December stating that Murray had agreed to quit at the end of the 2007 Carib Beer Series. Murray later denied he discussed his retirement with any selectors. “I think that people are trying to get me out of it,” the former Test wicketkeeper/batsman claimed. Windward Islands enter the fourth round of the Carib Beer Series at the cellar position on seven points. They play third-placed Trinidad and Tobago, on 20 points, at Guaracara Park.
