Windies ODI captain Bravo laments loss of key players

Auckland: West Indies One-Day international (ODI) captain Dwayne Bravo is lamenting the absence of Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Marlon Samuels from the side as it prepares to battle against New Zealand in an ODI

The West Indies are trying to recover from disappointing test tours of India and New Zealand and a crisis meeting planned for early January in the Caribbean is aimed at plotting the way forward.

Test captain Darren Sammy has already said publicly that players' career including his, may be on the line as a result of the embarrassing defeats in the recent test matches.

Speaking to reporters on his arrival in New Zealand Bravo says players must take full responsibility for the current state of West Indies cricket.

“If we are all honest with ourselves it has been very embarrassing to see the state our cricket has come to and we all as players take full responsibility and full blame,” said the West Indies skipper.

“We have decided to take it upon our self, we have to do something different, its important. If not those who are in charge do something different. If it means that some changes need to be made so be it."

Newly appointed director of cricket Richard Pybus, Coach Ottis Gibson and cricketer selectors are among those who will be part of the crucial meeting in January examining the state of the regional team.

“We can't keep playing the same players, the same team the same squad same result. The way our cricket is being shown at the moment is very embarrassing,” said Bravo.

“We really need to take a look into ourselves and do something about it... our fans are hurting."
