Opener Lendl Simmons is the latest West Indies cricketer to defeat the West Indies cricket board in the courtroom.
The Trinidadian batsman has been awarded 750,000 tt dollars by the arbitrator after the West Indies failed to honour its contract with Simmons.
Although Simmons was under a retainer for the 2009-2010 contract year which represented a full-time occupation, he was not selected by the WICB for an extended period of time.
Simmons’ award follows that of Ramnaresh Sarwan’s, which totalled 1 million dollars .
