WSG refutes allegations made my BCCSL
CricInfo - 17 October 2001

WSG Nimbus released an official statement Wednesday in response the the Sri Lankan cricket boards decision Tuesday to "terminate" their three-year sports rights agreement.

They reacted strongly to the public accusations made by the BCCSL, announcing that WSG Nimbus "utterly refutes the allegations made by the BCCSL" and "denies breaching the Agreement in any respect."

The full release from Singapore, states: "WSG Nimbus Pte Limited refers to the recent publicity relating to its Master Rights Agreement with the Board of Control for Cricket in Sri Lanka (BCCSL).

"WSG Nimbus was surprised to receive a letter yesterday from the BCCSL alleging that the Agreement between it and the BCCSL had ceased to operate as a result of purported breaches by WSG Nimbus.

"WSG Nimbus has since learnt that the BCCSL had also obtained an ex parte court order in Colombo in support of this. WSG Nimbus utterly refutes the allegations made by BCCSL and denies that it has breached the Agreement in any respect.

"WSG Nimbus will be taking steps to have the order set aside and to seek redress from BCCSL for all losses, damage and injury to its reputation and business emanating from this unjustified action by the BCCSL in seeking to terminate the Agreement.
