Guyana has lost the third test between the West Indies and New Zealand due to a dispute over who controls cricket in the Caribbean. The teams were scheduled to play the final test at the Providence Stadium, Georgetown, from June 26-30. However, the West Indies Cricket Board said in a statement that it will move the game because of a bill recently passed by Parliament in Guyana. The Antigua-based WICB, which is the umbrella body for cricket in the Caribbean, said the bill gives government too much control over the administra­tion of the game in Guyana. No alternativ­e venue has been named.
