HEADLINE: Ex-player lashes CWI over harassment claims

Dr Armstrong, now a UK-trained sports psychologist, speaking on the Mason and Guest cricket radio show on the Voice of Barbados Tuesday said: “I felt the statement was very vague. It really did not hint to any form of remorse.”

And she posed questions to CWI about its handling of the 2020 matter.

“Is there an appointed safeguarding officer for Cricket West Indies? Is there an appointed safeguarding officer for WIPA? If there is, I want to know if when the report was submitted to CWI, was the safeguarding officer notified at the point in time? If the safeguarding officer was notified, was there an intervention to investigate these instances?

However, the joint statement did not impress one former Barbados women’s player, Dr Dawn-Marie Armstrong.

I always feared the women players would be harassed by male staff, not by other team members!

Lol.. it's 99% males on the team.

Probably 100% by now...

considering that some of those players that played in that world cup are still in this team at the moment minus taylor and dottin because of "injuries" what message are they sending ?if this was a issue with male staff harassing women players see how fast they will be out of there.

This had been an open secret for many years. This is so in many all female sports - track, basketball, soccer and cricket. I suppose the 100% females, by and large, do not play these sports. Weight lifting, hormones, steroids, strict diet, training and gym will create a different type of female.

The issue is not lesbians playing the sport; that is their right!

the issue is not sexual orientation but the harassment of other players .... and apparently with impunity....under the eyes of management.

In reply to Narper

All "woman" teams playing male sports are hardly likely to be harassed by man/men,me nah go hexplain.

The WI has in the past sent home players from tour for behavior that was less than criminal, they seem very accommodating of this incident, should the victim have reported the matter to the local police? This is a team that has had 17/18-year-old players since. Can people trust that players selected are entering into a harassment free environment?
