Hurricanes Protest Windsor Park Loss

Tue, Nov 24, '15

Head coach of the Leeward Islands Hurricanes Reginald Benjamin is asking the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) to rule his team’s eight-wicket loss to Windward Islands Volcanoes null and void and replay the match.

The coach’s revelation comes after the four-day match ended after just two days of play with Leeward Islands declaring at 24 for seven on the first day citing a “poorly prepared pitch” at Windsor Park in Dominica.

“I would prefer if we play over the game and we go from there,” he said. “And as one of the former players, who played at the highest level asked, ‘if that was the kind of wicket they want you to play on and perform and then select you to the West Indies, then you will never be selected’; and I can agree with that comment,” he said.

According to the coach, he officially protested the match in which only 386 runs were scored in four innings.
