TTCB wants dialogue on Bravo issue

by

The T&T Crick­et Board (TTCB) yes­ter­day said it was ad­dress­ing re­cent is­sues be­tween the West In­dies Crick­et Board (WICB) and T&T play­ers.

The Board said it had not­ed re­cent in­ci­dents in­volv­ing lo­cal play­ers and wished to as­sure the pub­lic that it had writ­ten the West In­dies Crick­et Board seek­ing di­a­logue as a mat­ter of ur­gency.

The re­lease stat­ed: "The TTCB notes the re­cent in­ci­dents in­volv­ing our play­ers and the WICB and wish­es to as­sure the pub­lic that we are ad­dress­ing these and oth­er is­sues as a mat­ter of ur­gency. We have writ­ten the WICB re­quest­ing di­a­logue be­tween all par­ties con­cerned in these mat­ters with a goal of re­solv­ing the con­flicts and get­ting the fo­cus back on­to the field of play."

The re­lease fur­ther re­vealed that the T&TCB will be seek­ing a meet­ing with Dar­ren Bra­vo on his re­turn to Trinidad, fol­low­ing his ejec­tion from the West In­dies team cur­rent­ly in­volved in a tri-na­tions se­ries in Zim­bab­we.

Bra­vo was the lat­est T&T play­er to feel the ire of the WICB, hav­ing been sent home for what the Board de­scribed as "in­ap­propi­ate and un­ac­cept­able be­hav­iour, which is con­trary to his con­trac­tu­al oblig­a­tions to the WICB."

The de­ci­sion fol­lowed a tweet from Bra­vo af­ter WICB pres­i­dent Dave Cameron had de­fend­ed his Board's de­ci­sion to of­fer the Trinida­di­an a 'C' con­tract, in­stead of an 'A' con­tract, be­cause of poor per­for­mances.

Bra­vo tagged Cameron via his twit­ter han­dle, @dav­ec51 with "You hav been fail­ing 4 d las 4yrs. Y don't u re­sign and FYI i've ne­va been giv­en an 'A' con­tact. Big Id­iot." The WICB sub­se­quent­ly gave Bra­vo a Sat­ur­day 4 p.m. dead­line to apol­o­gise and re­move the tweet, which did not hap­pen.

Bra­vo is ex­pect­ed to ar­rive home to­day and there are plans for him to meet with of­fi­cials of his lo­cal team, Queen's Park Crick­et Club.
