Bravo: BCCI more supportive than WICB

"The country's cricket is not in right hands. We have not got a telephone call from any of the WICB officials or directors. We know that they did not want or believe that we could win this tournament. It was basically us against them. Even the BCCI does more for us," Bravo said.

Dwayne Bravo bemoaned the West Indies Cricket Board's lack of support.

West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo lamented his country's cricket board stating that “even BCCI does more” for them.

“The country's cricket is not in right hands. We have not got a telephone call from any of the WICB officials or directors. That's not a good thing. We know that they did not want or believe that we could win this tournament. It was basically us against them. Even the BCCI does more for us,” Bravo said in a TV interview.

He also said how players like him, Chris Gayle and Andre Russell are being kept out of the West Indies ODI side.

“If we look at the calender, we don't have anymore T20 matches this year. We are not picked for the ODIs. There's a series that's going to happen with South Africa but we will be playing in England (Natwest Blast) whereas we should have been playing for the West Indies. Look at the love we get over here. Even the BCCI does more for us than our board,” said Bravo.

“But it's nice that the CARICOM people are coming together. Cricket is a way that unites people in the Caribbean,” said Bravo.
