Former West Indies cricketer Dinanath Ramnarine slammed the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) on Tuesday and dared the WICB Directors starting from its President Dave Cameron to invest their personal fortune into West Indies cricket.
The Ex- president of the West Indies Players Association Ramnaraine expressed his disappointment with a series of Tweets on the Board’s decision to exclude established all-rounders’ Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard from the 15-member World Cup squad. He referred it to the payment structure dispute between the players, the WICB and West Indies Players’ Association.
It’s unfortunate d WI team have already been defeated before a ball has been bowled They have been defeated by d WICB. MOM goes to Prez WICB

The former West Indies leg-spinner also agreed to Chris Gayle comments on the two players’ omission, calling it “ridiculous”.

Former WICB Director Conde Riley calls Gayle remarks disrespectful because he (Gayle) cannot question the selectors. Is this guy for real!!

Bravo led the West Indies team in their tour to India, which came to an abrupt end after players refused to play a fifth ODI, one Twenty20 and three Tests in October last year.
