As per Cricket West Indies, they are unaware of the events.
On Friday, a shocking news has taken the cricket fraternity by storm. A Guyanese player from the West Indies team has been accused of multiple sexual offences, including rape. The news comes while the nation is hosting Australia for the first Test of the three-match series at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown, Barbados. The SportsMax Zone reached out to the board, Cricket West Indies (CWI), to enquire about the player and the events.
The President, Dr. Kishore Shallow, has responded to the enquiry.
Dr. Shallow quoted, “CWI is unaware of these circumstances, and therefore, is not in a position to comment at this time.”

An article on the Kaieteur News website dated June 24 has stated that a woman has confirmed sexual abuse by the player.
The article also reads, “This is not the first time the player’s name has been associated with similar allegations. Kaieteur News has learned of at least four instances, with one prior incident that was reported to the police, where a statement was taken. However, that matter reportedly did not progress to formal charges and quietly faded from public view.”
Talking about evidence, as per Kaieteur News, includes photos of the injuries the survivor (Jane Doe for reference to protect the identity of the woman) sustained when the said sexual offences occurred. Jane Doe has also shared WhatsApp (a messaging service application) screenshots of her chats with the player. The conversations surround the player apologising for his actions and urging Jane Doe to keep the matter private. In order to hide the matter under the carpet, the player offered monetary compensation, which was refused by Jane Doe.
As per further investigation by the above-mentioned sources, the issue and a set of complaints go back to 2022. However, Jane Doe’s complaints often went unheard.
Another article on Kaieteur News by Rawle Toney, dated June 26, states that at least 11 women, including a teenager, have been sexually assaulted.
The name of the player remains unnamed. A string of complaints and consistent developments on the event by Jane Doe add to the credibility of the report. Additionally, with multiple women pointing fingers at the same person, the issue is being pushed for a thorough investigation by the officials.
