WIPA 'strongly condemns' bus attack

The West Indies Players Association has issued a statement condemning the attacks on the West Indies players' bus in Bangladesh by outraged local fans.

WIPA President and CEO, Dinanath Ramnarine stated that "it is regrettable what transpired in Bangladesh; thankfully none of our players are hurt. The potential for terrible incidents like this one today  is why we insist that the standards agreed for regional and international matches must be continuously assessed and must be met at all times as it relates to the security of our players and other related matters."

Ramnarine said "we just cannot wait for something more serious to happen to pay attention to the issue of security, we need to be proactive".
