PRIME MINISTER FREUNDEL STUART wants Caribbean politicians and leaders to avoid getting too involved in the running of West Indies cricket.
At the same time, he labelled as “a little unfortunate” the public criticisms Darren Sammy, captain of the West Indies Twenty20 world championship team, levelled at the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) immediately after the men’s and women’s teams captured the crowns in India earlier this month.
Sammy denounced the WICB for the board’s poor relationship with the players.
“I believe it was a little unfortunate that the triumph of the West Indies team could not have been savoured, could not have been enjoyed [by West Indians across the region] without that bit” of a sour note, Stuart told the DAILY NATION in an interview at the United Nations in New York on Friday.
