No victimization for players refusing to tour England

Cricket West Indies’ Chief Executive Officer, Johnny Grave has assured that no player who refuses to go on the upcoming tour to England will face victimization but revealed that those players will be affected by salary cuts.

Speaking on Trinidad and Tobago’s I955FM recently, Grave was asked if players could face victimization for refusing to travel especially in light of the unique situation of the tour playing amid the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic.

Grave responded, “No! absolutely not! We have been in this position before when we toured Pakistan and most recently the Women’s captain Stafanie Taylor didn’t want to tour. We will respect any player’s decision for whatever reason doesn’t want to tour and so there will be absolutely no victimization whatsoever.”
