Engage BCCI now - Roberts

Tue, Oct 28, '14

Former West Indies fast bowler Sir Andy Roberts is not in concert with the recent decision by the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) to establish a task force to look into the circumstances surrounding the recent pull-out by players during their recent tour of India.

According to Roberts, a member of the world champion West Indies teams of the 1970s, what the board should have done, at the very least, was to first address the issue of recent threats from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

"I would not go the route of a task force right now. I would get people down to India to see if we can salvage anything," Roberts told The Gleaner.

"For me, that is more important right now than to set up a task force to find out what transpired between WIPA, the players, and the board."
