JAMAICA: West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president Dave Cameron announced to make enquiry of ‘inappropriate’ comments from Darren West Idnies captain Sammy right after winning WT20 2016 Trophy.
Sammy had lashed out at WICB immediately after becoming the first team to be crowned World T20 champions twice.
In his acceptance speech Sammy said it was “very disappointing” to not hear from the WICB on the team’s triumph against England on Sunday evening in Kolkata.
Reacting to Sammy’s criticism, a statement from WICB president said: “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 apologize on behalf of the WICB, to the millions of fans who witnessed,” the statement said. “The President has pledged to enquire the reason and will have the matter addressed.”
Cameron also announced that he would meet the players after the IPL at the annual review in June to find a “common ground” where the “best” players can represent the region in all formats.
