West Indies cricket have been rocked by another controversy as the team are currently playing a crucial home series against Australia, which has kicked off their World Test Championship (WTC) 2025 campaign. A cricketer, who is part of the national team setup at the moment, has been accused of sexual harassment, as per reports of several Carribbean outlets. According to a video report of Sportsmax TV, the cricketer is from Guyana. The report further went on to say that at least 11 women had accused the cricketer, including a teenager.
According to Kaiteur News, several women have lodged complaints against the cricketer with law enforcement authorities in Guyana. However, efforts are being made to suppress the matter. One woman, who recently reported an incident with the Guyana Police Force, became distressed during the interview and had to be taken to a local hospital, according to the report.
The family of a woman accused the cricketer of sexually assaulting her on March 3, 2023, when she was 18 years old, at a residence in New Amsterdam, Berbice. The accused, who is a known acquaintance of the family, had picked her up from her workplace on the pretext of socializing.
When she arrived at the house and saw several men outside, she initially felt safe. However, once she was inside, she was taken upstairs by the cricketer, where he committed the heinous crime.
Following the initial report, several women have reportedly come forward accusing the cricketer, supported by screenshots, messages, voice notes, and medical records.
When probed by NewsMax TV, Cricket West Indies President Kishore Shallow stated that the board was unaware of the incident and, therefore, could not take any action at this time.
“Cricket West Indies is unaware of the circumstances and, therefore, is not in a position to comment at this time,” Shallow was quoted as saying
