The West Indies will begin the first test in Jamaica on JUne 8.
Kingston, Jamaica (TDN) -- The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has moved the third cricket test match between the West Indies and New Zealand from Guyana to Barbados.

The two teams will meet on June 26-30 after taking part in two tests in Jamaica and Trinidad on June 8 -12 and June 16-20 respectively.It was decided to move the test after the Guyana National Assembly passed a Cricket Administration Bill taking away the management of the cricket from an independent body to the government of Guyana.

Before passage of the legislation the WICB implored the Guyana government of president Donald Ramotar not to make the bill into law. The Board argued that such a bill was contrary to the tenets of the International Cricket Council (ICC).

In addition to the issue of the legislation, problems continue to plague the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) after its elections which were held last year were deemed to be unconstitutional. The Guyana government intervention was aimed at remedying this situation, but the ICC rules are clear that the cricket affairs must be conducted by an association that is independent of government interference.

Just as in this current case the third Test in 2012 against Australia was moved from Guyana to Dominica after the Guyana government attempted to bring the cricket administration under its control.

The first test gets underway on June 8 in Jamaica.
