In a searing assault on the WICB, West Indies allrounder Dwayne Bravo has called the board "most amateurish" and its leader Dave Cameron a "juvenile", "little minded", "self-important" individual, who he accepts is at "individual war" with his own players. Bravo made the remarks amid a Skype meet.
Bravo has had a few run-ins with the WICB previously. As ODI chief, he drove West Indies' haul out from the India visit over player-installment issues in October 2014, and from that point forward has not highlighted in the ODI squad, lost his retainer contract, and had even been uprooted as skipper of his local T&T group in the residential one-day competition. Being exploited by his own particular load up, Bravo said, was just the same old thing new thus he would not be shocked if West Indies' Twenty20 chief Darren Sammy is taught by the WICB for being incredulous of the load up after the group won the World T20 for the second time on Sunday evening in Kolkata.
"I'm yet to get notification from our own particular cricket board. That is exceptionally frustrating," Sammy had said at the post-match presentation. "Throughout today, I'm going to celebrate with these 15 men and guiding staff. I don't know when will be playing with these folks again in light of the fact that we don't get chose for one-day cricket… " Hours after that, the WICB conveyed two media discharges. The first praised the players on their accomplishments, yet in the second discharge Cameron said he would ask into Sammy's comments.
"No, I was not amazed [by Sammy's comments]. We had enough as players," said Bravo. "An excess of times individuals descend on the players. They doubted our dedication, they doubted whether we were truly dedicated to West Indies cricket or is it simply the cash. Many individuals don't comprehend the things we experience as players managing our board. It is the most amateurish board on the planet to me. Sammy talked from his heart. There is nothing amiss with Sammy's discourse and I bolster Darren Sammy 100%.
"The whole group bolsters him and it's a matter of us as players feeling hurt and the time has come where we can't take it any longer and somebody needs to put a stop to it on the grounds that the cricket is being controlled by individuals who don't have West Indies cricket's enthusiasm on a fundamental level."
As indicated by Bravo, the WICB has dependably neglected to regard and speak with the players. "The board declined to listen to what we need to say. It achieved a point where we can't take it no more and that itself urged us to go out there and win notwithstanding every one of the difficulties we have. Indeed, even our own board did not think we were going to win the competition. We are yet to get notification from the president, yet to get notification from the CEO, yet to get notification from the executive of cricket. I mean by what method would you be able to speak to the district, and the general population who should be your supervisors and responsible for you don't wish you well, don't bolster you.
"So I was not amazed at Sammy's discourse since he talked from his heart. What's more, it's something that the Caribbean individuals need to comprehend, we're not content with the way how our cricket is being run."
It didn't improve the situation when, taking after the men's and ladies' triumphs, Cameron tweeted from his own record: "When is the last time a commentator paid one your bills? Never forget that when you begin to give them your vitality."
Bravo said: "I'm not astonished by the president's tweet, to be completely forthright, in light of the fact that it is anticipated from him. He is somebody exceptionally youthful. Two years back when we had the issues on the India visit, [Kieron] Pollard and myself had been conspicuously defrauded for reasons unknown. That is their method for managing circumstances. They are little minded individuals, particularly the president as I said some time recently. There is not a lot he can do once more."
Bravo brought up that notwithstanding amid a year ago's ODI World Cup, Cameron had posted an unfavorable tweet when he doubted Chris Gayle's shape in the opening matches. "That tweet from the president was [during] the 50-over World Cup when Chris Gayle was battling in the primary couple of amusements. The president conveyed a tweet: 'It is the ideal opportunity for Chris Gayle to purchase a few runs.' It resemble an individual war against his own particular individuals, his own particular players. The president was in India [during the World T20] and he is yet to go to the group to say congrats or well done folks or anything like that."
Cameron said that the reason he would not like to enter the West Indies changing area was on account of he didn't need the players to get influenced or occupied by his nearness. He called the choice, "exceptionally think", however said that he imparted a decent relationship to his players.
Plainly, Bravo did not concur. "Our cricket has gone to the most minimal. Yes, we won the World Cup, the ladies won the World Cup. Additionally the Under-19s won the World Cup. Be that as it may, that doesn't intend to say our cricket is in great hands. It is definitely not. We certainly require assist and the board needs to respond in due order regarding a portion of the things that have been going on."
Bravo was negative around a determination being come to sooner rather than later, remembering the WICB was willing just to arrange with the West Indies Player Association, which "90% of the players" are not part of. "It is extreme times and I could just see deteriorating on the grounds that the load up is going to counter with abhor and outrage, and they don't think as grown-ups and develop individuals with judgment skills. They generally attempt to respond with some sort of exploitation or attempting to accomplish something to mislead the players or make a move against players."
