Former Windies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has slammed Cricket West Indies for stripping Rovman Powell of the T20 captaincy.
CWI announced on Monday that Powell who took over the reigns in 2023, will be replaced by Barbadian Shai Hope who is already the One Day International captain.
The announcement came on the day when Kraigge Brathwaite stepped down as captain of the test team.
Hope appointed to lead the T20 side on the advice of head coach Daren Sammy.
According to Sammy, Hope blends instinctive decision-making with analytical precision, using in-depth match data and player-performance insights to shape strategy”.
However, two-time T20 World Cup winner Bravo has rubbished the move.
Bravo took to social media to register his disgust, saying quote “once again you guys prove to the people of the Caribbean and the cricket world that the injustices towards players continues!”
“As a former player and a fan of WI cricket, this is easily one of the worst decisions ever.
Taking over captaincy when our T20 team was in 9th spot and was able to move up to 3rd sport in the rankings and this is how you guys repay him.
The bad treatment towards players when would it Stop! This is so sad on all levels..make it make sense!,” wrote Bravo.
Meanwhile, Veteran cricket commentator, Joseph ‘Reds’ Perriera, says he was surprised by the move.
