adminPORT OF SPAIN. — World Twenty20 winner Dwayne Bravo blasted West Indies cricket president David Cameron as ‘immature’, ‘arrogant’ and ‘small-minded’ on Wednesday as the crisis engulfing the Caribbean team deepened.
The thrilling T20 win over England in Kolkata on Sunday has been overshadowed by the reopening of old wounds between the players and the West Indies Cricket Board over contracts and salaries.
Bravo backed Darren Sammy’s emotional outburst after the final when the captain blasted the board as “disrespectful” for failing to even supply proper shirts for the tournament and for the protracted salary row which rumbled on to the very start of the competition.
Sammy also claimed that no senior figures from the WICB had congratulated the team on their triumph. All-rounder Bravo said Sammy was right to criticise the board but saved his venom for Cameron.
“The president is immature and small-minded,” 32-year-old Bravo told Trinidad TV station, CNC3. “He is just an arrogant guy.”
Bravo backed Sammy’s accusations over the poor preparation which saw the team manager having to go in search of playing shirts which would have players’ names and numbers printed on the back. — AFP.
