ST JOHN’S/KOLKATA: The West Indies Cricket Board today hit back at captain Darren Sammy over his scathing attack on it after the team’s World Twenty20 victory last night but offered to talk to the players on how to resolve the long-standing pay dispute.
Sammy gave vent to the team’s frustration with its administrators stating that lack of support from the Board has been disappointing after the team’s second World T20 title triumph, beating England by four wickets.
Hours after this, WICB issued a statement headlined ‘WICB President has high praises for World Twenty20 Organisers’ in which it termed Sammy’s comments “inappropriate”.
WICB President Dave Cameron ignored the grievances expressed by Sammy on the issue of lack of support to players but apologised to the organisers for the captain’s outburst before a capacity crowd at the Eden Gardens.
“The President would like to however apologise for what could be deemed inappropriate, comments made by the West Indies’ male captain, Darren Sammy in a post-match interview and would like to apologise on behalf of
the WICB, to the millions of fans who witnessed (sic),” Cameron said in the statement.(PTI)
