Richards supports Sammy in West Indies dispute

IANS, St. John's: Batting legend Viv Richards has supported T20 skipper Darren Sammy in his decision to slam the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) for its lack of support during the recent World T20 in India.

During the post-match ceremony following the World T20 final on Sunday, Sammy said the team felt “disrespected” by the WICB and had not heard from the Antigua-based organisation during their successful campaign, reports CMC.
“I don’t think Sammy would be a liar. I think Sammy is as honest as they come so it is going to be quite interesting, going forward, to see and to hear exactly what comes from the board,” Richards, who never lost a Test series as the West Indies captain, told the Observer newspaper here on Wednesday.
He continued: “Sammy did what he had to do. It was on his mind and you could see what he said meant a lot; it came from the heart. In my mind, it looked like something planned.”
