SUBJECT VERB

Robert Dumas of C News, you might need some help with your subject/verb agreement in your sentences.
In the 9pm sportscast you said "The team are..." and "The T&T Cricket Board have named...".
Sigh!
As far as we are aware, both the team and the Board are singular, therefore they need a singular verb. You could have said "The members of the team are...", and "The T&T Cricket Board has named...".
