Few of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) officials believe that their male players were “over jubilant” while expressing their joy after winning the ICC World T20 (against England) at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on Sunday.
“Many of the team members removed their shirts and few players also threw at the spectators. This (removing shirt in open) was definitely the “uncivilized manner”, one of the officials of the St. Lucia cricket association, said on condition of anonymity.
Interestingly, the captain of the West Indies team, Darren Sammy, also belongs to this island.
“The act of the cricketers was unusual. In Caribbean islands, the football and soccer players do this but it was unexpected from Sammy’s boys,” the official added.
