The axe has fallen on former Barbados and West Indies cricketer Vasbert Drakes – again.

But he is not taking it lightly. Less than two years after he was fired as head coach of the West Indies Women’s team, Drakes was removed from his position as bowling coach of the men’s team on Wednesday.

Through his attorney Queen’s Counsel Ralph Thorne, he is suing his former boss Cricket West Indies (CWI), saying the way he was terminated was unlawful. He is asking the High Court to reinstate him to the position and to order CWI to pay him compensation. (HLE)
