Two-time T20 World Cup-winning captain of the West Indies team Daren Sammy has urged the ICC and all the boards to speak against racism to make the world a better place. This came after the uprising in the USA after the death of George Floyd.

Sammy, in a series of tweets, chronicled how the blacks have been struggling and suffering for a long time. “For too long black people have suffered. I’m all the way in St Lucia and I’m frustrated If you see me as a teammate then you see #GeorgeFloyd Can you be part of the change by showing your support. #BlackLivesMatter,” Sammy wrote.   

He also urged ICC and other cricket boards to stand up against racism and speak up against the injustice that has been happening to people of his kind.

He also wrote, “@ICC and all the other boards are you guys not seeing what’s happening to ppl like me? Are you not gonna speak against the social injustice against my kind. This is not only about America. This happens every day #BlackLivesMatter now is not the time to be silent. I wanna hear u.”

He is not the only cricketer to speak about the police brutality that cost Floyd his life. His former teammate Chris Gayle also revealed that racism exists in cricket as well and he gets the stick even within teams.

"Black lives matter just like any other life. Black people matter, p***k all racist people, stop taking black people for fools, even our own black people wise the p***k up and stop bringing down your own! I have traveled the globe and experience racial remarks towards me because I am black, believe me, the list goes on," Gayle wrote in his Instagram story.
