Sammy wants mediation as selectors meet to pick new squad

Thu, Feb 11, '16

West Indies cricket selectors were yesterday mandated by the WICB to select a new 15-man squad to represent the region in the upcoming ICC T20 World which bowls off on March 8, in India.

The four-man panel of Clive Lloyd (chairman), Courtney Browne, Eldine Baptiste and Courtney Walsh were involved in a teleconference that is likely to result in a new team for the tournament, if the demands of Darren Sammy and the other 14 players who have asked for their contracts to be renegotiated are not accepted by the WICB.

Yesterday, chief executive officer of the Board, Michael Muirhead urged Sammy to take up any issue which he and his players had with WIPA.

“Any issues you or a particular group of players may have with the representation you receive from your association are best taken up with WIPA. As it stands however, WIPA is the exclusive collective bargaining agent for West Indian players—regardless of who those particular players may be at any given time.”
