Andy Roberts wants the current West Indies cricket officials to resign: Cricket News
Former West Indies fast bowler Andy Roberts has slammed the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) because of the internal politics within their system. The legendary fast bowler blamed the cricket authorities in the Caribbean and said that they are responsible
for the decline of the sport in the region.
Roberts, who was an integral part of the great West Indies team, asked the top cricket officials to resign as they have failed to improve the standard of the game in the Caribbean.
Former great also said that the board officials implement whatever they want to without putting a lot of science into their efforts. Roberts claimed that the current cricket officials do not have any direction and they do not know what they are doing. Former
fast bowler went on to say that it would be a disaster for the future as well if the current board officials do not step down.
Roberts added. "The board does what it pleases them. They don't have a clue how to move West Indies cricket forward. They don't have a clue. Some of the board members should resign otherwise the same problems will keep appearing in the future also."
WICB blamed the senior players for the World Cup debacle and axed Chris Gayle, Ramnaresh Sarwan and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 at home. West Indies has already lost the ODI series by 3-1 with one match to go in a
five-game-series.
Roberts said that one cannot blame few players to be the root cause behind any problem. He said that the whole system is polluted and just blaming the senior players would not do West Indian cricket any good.
"You can't just concentrate on few players playing in the Test team. I have been saying this from 1995. The problem is that the board seems to view few players as the problem in West Indies cricket. The entire cricket in our region is in a mess. It's not
about Sarwan, Chanderpaul, Gayle or Ramnarine,” legendary fast bowler added.
Even in this worst situation, there is a lot of talent in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 which is not managed properly. WICB should get their act together and get rid of all the politics before it is too late to revive the game in the Caribbean.
