Embattled West Indies batsman Darren Bravo was picked up by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) yesterday at the Indian Premier League 2017 auction in India but the left hander will now have to get clearance from the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) to play.
Bravo was picked up for US$74,00 (TT$500,000) for the 2017 IPL but the batsman is currently under suspension from the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for his alleged offensive tweet against the WICB president Dave Cameron. He was sent home from the tour of Zimbabwe and since then has not been allowed to play for the Caribbean side or in regional cricket.
Bravo, 28, did not sign a retainer with the WICB but as an active player he still needs to apply to the WICB for a No Objection Certificate (NOC) in order to play in the IPL. Even if Bravo decides to take the route of retiring from international cricket, he still needs an NOC from the WICB for two years after his date of resignation.

Well said.

And if the WICBC refuse to grant Bravo a NOC, he will win in any court.

We'll see Cameron refusing a players's right to earn a living for not apologizing.

Deleted.

Ha. He did not want to take down the tweet to play for WI lets see how quick he delete it to get his NOC.

a man call you an eediot and you decide that man shouldn't eat. Now that is a 'don' approach.

Wicb must be tough and show these little brats that they are not bigger than wi cricket, making him apologise for what he did, set an example for those other brats coming up .

In reply to Emir

You must be the judge and jury.
Both Phil and Darren after one was fired and the other suspended without pay, what happened to both of these cases?
As for Phil, Stuart Law is now the Head Coach and Darren cannot play at the regional or International level.
Thats what happened when you breach a code in your contract.
What about a tweet that cannot be remove?
I for one believe Darren should remove the tweet, ignore the noise and let his bat do the talking.
Instead of signing for Eighty it could be a million, next time.
Thats the way I see it.

In reply to openning

The NOC will be granted.
WICB can refuse to pick Bravo or prevent him from playing in WICB tournaments.

I am sure Bravo will play CPL this year, dem can't stop that.

Can you call your boss a big idiot, even if he is and still work at the company, I once called my boss more than an idiot.

What is this about Pooran? Why is he in the headline?

In reply to Emir

So what is the purpose of the NOC if a player cannot be refused one? Why would the IPL require one in the first place?

In reply to Kay

Dey can refuse if the player is contracted and/or their services will be required during the period. Didn dey refuse Holder one?

Bravo will take them to court, win and sue them for loss of revenue. The idiots never learn.
