BRIDGETOWN, July 17: The Caribbean cricket team have called for the resignation of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Chief Executive Bruce Aanensen who has been in the office for less than three months, highlighting what seems an almost irreparable divide between the players and officials.

In a letter, originally posted on caribbeancricket.com, to Dinanath Ramnarine, the chief executive of the West Indies Players Association (WIPA), the players wrote that they were highly offended that Aanensen publicly labelled them as incompetent.

“We are now left with the rather difficult situation of determining whether as players we would be able to continue working with Aanensen,” the letter concluded.

Gordon, who leaves office in 12 days, responded to Ramnarine, who forwarded the players’ letter along with a few asides of his own, by saying that he was not satisfied by the letters as there was no justification in the charges made.—Agencies
