WICB will not be sacking senior cricketer says Cameron

The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) says it will not heed the call of regional fans and past players to sack the senior members of the West Indies cricket team.

Fans were left bitterly disappointed as West Indies bowed out of the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 in South Asia without a fight as they failed to register a victory against a major nation in more than two years.

The idea of sacking the senior players has been gathering steam since Coach Ottis Gibson blamed them for the team's poor showing in the World Cup.

But despite repeated calls for their expulsion, Jamaica's Dave Cameron, the First Vice President of the WICB, says cricket’s regional governing body will not go that route.

"The senior players have a role to play but they have to buy into our objectives and dreams of where we want to go. I’m not for sacking players … I’m for rehabilitation, talking to players and showing them what our stated objectives are and trying to get them to see where we want to go and to journey with us," he said.
