WIPA to caution cricketers over drugs

(BBC) The West Indies Players Association says it will have to give more education to cricketers in the region about the dangers of illegal drugs.

The pledge follows the arrest and charge of Trinidad and Tobago’s Runako Morton, a former Test player, and Tonito Willet of the Leeward Islands.

Trinidad and Tobago police say the pair was found with half a kilo of marijuana in a car with two women on Friday night.
