Sammy : 2nd Letter !

Dear Sir,

As captain of the WT20 team, I wish that we can settle this matter and focus on preparations for the tournament. I want to state on behalf of the players that we want to play and will represent the West Indies to the best of our abilities.

The embarrassment and fiasco of the Indian Tour which was called off by the Board must not be allowed to happen. However, it is the arrogance and high-handedness of the Board which cause these problems.
You cannot continue [to] force players to be represented by a body that they are not members of and do not want to represent them. You cannot continue to be unfair and unreasonable.

Issues like this will continue to plague West Indies cricket unless you have an MOU and arrangements for non-WIPA players are fair and just.

We are aware that, win or lose, this may well be the last tournament for most of us as reprisals will set in but we will speak out for what is fair. We are players and we know that unless radical changes take place, players will always have the grievance of which we complain.



We simply find it bizarre that the Board does not know how much it will receive from the ICC for the tournament! ‎How you receive the value may be spread over time but you surely should know what the income is.



Notwithstanding the above, we ask that you consider our request to double the match fees, share 50% of sponsorship fees and award 100% of prize money to the players.



If you don't agree to the above, would you consider that this matter goes to mediation for a settlement.

We believe that the above options are fair and reasonable. We have compromised on our earlier request that original formula be used.

We trust that the Board will also be willing to compromise.

A West Indian team is the final of a World Cup,

even as another West Indian team is threatening to pull out of another World Cup.

The two events have a correlation even if they are unfolding in two different theaters,

at altogether different levels.

The West Indian Under-19 team has done so well at the ongoing Youth World Cup,

it’s due the very system that the seniors, led by Darren Sammy, want to change.
