Cricket West Indies has reportedly declined to comment on this issue.
A current West Indies men's team cricketer has been accused of multiple instances of sexual assault, harassment, and rape, according to reports from media outlets in the Caribbean.
A video report by SportsMax TV has revealed that the player, who hails from Guyana and is part of the present national team setup, has been accused by at least 11 women. Despite the seriousness of the allegations, no formal charges have been filed yet. Cricket West Indies (CWI) has declined to comment on the matter at this stage.
The report appears to have emerged originally from Guyana-based newspaper Kaieteur Sports.
The report further contained this revelation: "I have heard accounts from no fewer than eleven women, one of them a teenager, who allege that they have been sexually assaulted, raped, or subjected to unwanted sexual advances by him."
As per the subsequent video report, there have also allegedly been significant attempts to cover up the player and his actions.
Cricket West Indies was contacted by SportsMax TV, the organization that produced the video report, to inquire about their knowledge of the situation, whether an investigation was underway, and whether any attempts were being made to conceal the facts.
"Cricket West Indies is unaware of the circumstances and, therefore, is not in a position to comment at this time," CWI President Kishore Shallow was quoted as saying, in the report.
The cricket player in question was a part of the West Indies team that famously trounced Australia at the Gabba in Brisbane in January 2024, according to renowned attorney Nigel Hughes, who was contacted by one of the claimed victims two years ago.
Although no charges have been brought against the player, Hughes said that since his return from the Australian tour, there had been less discussion about his alleged behavior. However, he acknowledged that as recently as a day or two ago, inquiries were made.
He added that after the historic Test triumph in Australia, the player had a "hero's welcome" when he returned to Guyana. Cricket West Indies (CWI) has declined to respond despite the case's increasing attention.
