EMBATTLED West Indies batsman Darren Bravo is expected to meet with Cricket West Indies (CWI) officials in order to attempt to settle recent disputes.Bravo was axed from the regional squad in November of last year following a controversial Tweet, which labelled CWI president Dave Cameron an “idiot”.
The player had taken exception to comments made by Cameron, which suggested that Bravo had been given a Grade C retainer due to ‘poor performances’ having also failed to deliver after previously being given an A retainer. Bravo had only been previously given a B retainer.
Bravo had been asked to remove the Tweet and given 24 hours to issue an apology. Both requests were initially ignored.
Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) official Suruj Ragoonath confirmed that the meeting was scheduled to take place via Skype to assess the player’s immediate future.
“The WICB has invited Darren Bravo to a meeting. We expect that a determination will be made concerning his selection for the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force and the West Indies teams following this meeting,” Ragoonath told Guardian T&T.
“Until the matter has been resolved and the parties have agreed on a position, Mr Bravo would not be allowed to participate in the current Regional Digicel 4-Day, nor would he be eligible for selection for the West Indies. The WICB awaits a response from Mr Bravo regarding the meeting invitation.” (Sportsmax.com)
