Daren Sammy, the head coach of the West Indies, has declared that “justice must be served” in relation to the claims of sexual assault against a national cricket player. But he believed that a systematic approach needed to be used.
According to Guyana-based Kaieteur News, a number of women came to them accusing the cricket player—whose name has not yet been verified—of serious charges. Additionally, according to the sources, some of the claims were from 2023 and for which no charges have been brought.
Daren Sammy said he had been in close communication with his players ahead of the West Indies’ second Test match against Australia in the current three-match series.
“Everyone is aware of the recent events in the media. My players and I are really close. I’ve talked to them to make sure they’re getting enough rest. We do believe in fairness, to put it simply. As a community, we think that justice must be done. But there’s a procedure. ESPNcricinfo cited Daren Sammy as saying, “We will continue to support in whatever way we can to ensure that due process and the right system are followed.”
“As the head coach of the cricket board, I want everyone to be treated fairly. But it’s all accusations as of right now. We are also familiar with the legal system. Speaking on the same topic, he continued, “You have to wait for things to process properly.
Australia and the West Indies are presently playing a three-match Test series. The team captained by Pat Cummins won the first game of the series by 159 runs. Travis Head’s half-centuries (59 and 61) in each of Australia’s innings earned him the Player of the Match title.
Grenada’s National Cricket Stadium will host the second match. In order to level the series, the hosts would want to improve their performance. On Thursday, July 3, the game is expected to start.
