The tensions between West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and series players are increasing day by day. Shivnarine Chandarpaul, who has demanded an explanation from the chief of WICB Ernest Hilaire, regarding the comments he made regarding the lack of discipline and application in the team, leading up to its massive post World Cup overhaul. He also threatened to pull chief in court.

Chanderpaul was dropped from on going series against Pakistan

Chris Gayle has been left the team and is playing Indian Primer League (IPL) after the exclusion from the on going one-day series against Pakistan. Chandarpaul was also axed from the squad, along with senior batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan.

Ernest Hilaire, in his statement, released last days, said:

“If you look at West Indies cricket since the mid-90s, a lot of the systems we had in place broke down. There’s no discipline, there’s no application. We’ve been doing that for 15 years and we’ve been losing. We need to put a new system in place. No one man is bigger than the team, no one man is such a superstar he can decide if he is training today, if he’s going to have treatment tomorrow, if he’s going to attend a team meeting. It cannot work that way.”

Chandarpaul has written a letter to WICB chief

In reply of this Chandarpaul has written a letter to WICB chief in which he asked him to clarify his statement, weather this was his personal statement or the official statement of board. He said that on the end of board’s explanation to dropping seniors, people were thought that Chandarpaul is involved in violation of discipline. He didn’t accept rules and regulations. He didn’t participate in the practice sessions and not attending team meetings since last 15 years. He didn’t give importance to coach and supporting staff.

Chandarpaul said that if chief executive will not give explanation of his controversial statement then I will consider all options including legal action.
