Barbados (CMC ):Attorney Ralph Thorne has accused the West Indies Cricket Board of breaking its promise to issue a statement making it clear that the players involved in the controversial abandoned India tour would not have been victimised.

Thorne, a high-profile Queen's Counsel who represented most of the players during the recent impasse with the WICB and players union, WIPA, said the board had given its word following a meeting between the parties in Trinidad but had failed to follow through.

With no assurance coming from the board, Thorne said this paved the way for players to be targeted. This, he argued, was reflected in the selection of the 15-man squad for the one-day tour of South Africa next month, with Dwayne Bravo axed as captain and dropped from the squad, and Kieron Pollard and Darren Sammy also overlooked.

We left the Hyatt Hotel (in Trinidad) with the WICB promising not to victimise. We left the Hyatt Hotel with the WICB promising to issue a statement saying that they would not victimise the players. To this day, they have refused to issue that statement," Thorne charged in an interview with CBC Sports Radio here.


Ralph is a rookie or wot? He should have never left the Hyatt without a signed copy of that statement in hand. This way if the WICB doesn't release it, then the players reps(not Wavell) would.
