According to manager Ranjie Nanan, the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board of Control will file a protest to the West Indies Board.

``It is not finished,'' said Nanan on Monday. ``It has been taken over by our board. This is not the end of it. I have been in touch with our president (Alloy Lequai, president of the TTCBC), he is talking with the board's lawyers and we will be taking from there.''

Trinidad and Tobago's claim that they were wrongfully denied the chance to contest the final against Guyana followed the rain affected, light affected semi-final match against the Leeward Islands on Saturday when, replying to 172 for nine off the allotted 41 overs and believing they had won the game, they accepted the umpires offer of bad light at 137 for five off 31.3 overs.

Following a 20-minute meeting involving the match referee, the two umpires, the standby umpire and representatives of the Jamaica Cricket Board of Control, Trinidad and Tobago were declared the winners by a fraction of a run.

The Leeward Islands filed a protest claiming the wrong formula was used, and at an emergency meeting called by JCBC president Jackie Hendriks on Sunday morning, the decision was overturned following an admission by the umpires that they and the match referee had used the wrong formula in coming to their decision.

Trinidad and Tobago then lodged a protest, and on the advice of two local lawyers, turned up at the ground on Monday ready to play.

The JCBC ignored their plea and the players went back to their hotel in Dunn's River.
