A NATIONAL CRICKETER is charging unfair dismissal from her job by a Christ Church hotel.

Sherika Lopez says she was dismissed after reporting for work late on the two days she was called up to play cricket for the Barbados team.

“They (hotel) were saying that I was supposed to ask them if they got the letter, but the BCA (Barbados Cricket Association) sent the letter to them. I was told that the letter was faxed and mailed to the workplace. They were saying that I should have asked them first if the letter had gotten to the workplace, which I didn’t. And I told them yes, I accept the fact that I did not ask no questions whether the letter had got there or not, because the two days I played the cricket I called and said I would be late,” she explained.

The commis chef said she turned up late on the days she played cricket, as she had done in the past. (RA)
