West Indies One Day International (ODI) captain Dwayne Bravo yesterday discounted remarks by teammate Marlon Samuels that he wanted no part of the one-day team’s plan to pull out of the tour of India. Yesterday in a letter sent by the T&T allrounder to the media, he expressed his astonishment with remarks made by the Jamaican stroke-maker saying: “I note the comments attributed to Mr Marlon Samuels from media reports and wish to state that Mr Samuels was invited to and did attend the majority of meetings with the players on tour. “We extended an invitation to Mr Marlon Samuels with the full knowledge that he is not a member of WIPA (West Indies Players Association) but was an interested party. “Mr Samuels contributed vigorously to the discussions held and indicated clearly, at that time, that he would stand with any decision taken by the team. I am therefore shocked to see the statements, if true, that have been attributed to Mr Samuels.”
