WEST Indies batting star Chris Gayle has advised regional players who find themselves involved in disputes with Cricket West Indies (CWI) to simply try and get on with playing the game.Disputes between CWI and West Indies players have become commonplace within the regional cricket landscape for several years, with many players finding themselves suspended after disputes with the board.
Having been on the receiving side of a suspension in 2012 after a dispute with CWI following a radio interview, Gayle admitted that he did have a solution for the issue.
The latest player to find himself involved in a dispute with the board was Trinidad and Tobago’s Darren Bravo, who remains suspended indefinitely after criticising CWI president Dave Cameron.
“I honestly have no idea how these relations can ever be improved. The situation has been like this for years. My comments on this issue will be similar to what others have been saying for years, so I will simply be voicing over their views.
Just talking about this won’t really solve anything; it’s all about concrete actions to see if they can get this thing right,” Gayle said in a recent interview.
“If they are not serious about solving issues with players, then it’s best for Cricket West Indies to forget about it and let the players get on with their careers without expecting any good outcome.
“As for the players, they need to suck it up and just do the best in the field as talking about the situation and bad relations will not get them anywhere.” (Sportsmax.com)
