WIPA worried about 'A' team tour
The West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA) isn't too thrilled with the idea of a West Indies "A" team going on a tour of Zimbabwe."This concern has resulted from discussions with various stakeholders and persons with intimate knowledge of the existing situation in that country. They have spoken of security treats, violation of human rights and a highly volatile situation that could threaten the safety of the players," WIPA said in a statement.
The association also stressed that the proposed tour in early July requires agreement between WIPA and the WICB.
"Although WIPA has no knowledge of the team selected, it has, nevertheless, taken the opportunity to speak with some likely candidates and the CARICOM Secretariat about their views on the tour to Zimbabwe. Their input will be critical to WIPA's determining its final position later this week."
"The safety of our players is of paramount importance," said WIPA president Dinanath Ramnarine.
