Bridgetown (Barbados), Jan 28 : Cricket West Indies (CWI) President Ricky Skerritt on Friday stated that the voice notes, which indicated a rift within the senior men’s team, is a “malicious attack” on Kieron Pollard.
According to the CWI, the voice notes were circulated on social media and in sections of the regional broadcast media. “Contrary to the unsubstantiated statements, containing unfounded and mischievous allegations, CWI is satisfied that there is no discord between the team captain and any member of the West Indies team,” said CWI in a statement.
CWI President said, “I view this as a malicious attack on the credibility of the West Indies captain (Pollard), designed to sow division within our team that has just recorded three very impressive T20I performances against very strong opponents, including two outstanding wins and one heroic comeback to get within one run of victory.
“This clear attempt by well-known mischief makers to discredit the captain and to derail the team’s momentum in the ongoing T20I series should not be tolerated or encouraged.” West Indies lead England 2-1 in the ongoing five-match T20I series at Kensington Oval in Barbados. The fourth and fifth matches will be played on January 30 and 31 respectively.
