Ganga Slams CricInfo Article

I, Daren Ganga, wish to advise that the statements attributed to me in a report on the CricInfo Web site earlier today about my fellow Trinidadian and West Indian colleague Brian Lara were not only inaccurate but mischievous.

At no time in my interview did I describe Brian as selfish and not a team player. As a matter of fact I complimented Brian for the role he has played in my cricket career and the opportunities that he has given me as captain of the Trinidad and Tobago and West Indies team.

Questions were put to me to which I replied that I had no comment yet appeared with answers.

It is truly unfortunate that so many misinterpretations and misstatements are being published at a time when West Indians and West Indies cricket needs to come together for the good of the region.

I hope that there is no attempt to damage my credibility for my decision made in the recent past and to discredit my reputation.

I remain committed to West Indies cricket and to the integrity of the game and players of the Caribbean.
