Former captain Dwayne Bravo has criticized the West Indies Cricket Board over its strained relationship with players and a lack of facilities for the sport in the Caribbean.
Bravo, who will play with the Melbourne Renegades in Australia's Twenty20 league, says "too much politics is killing our cricket," and adds
"we've got the players to be up there with the best in the world but there's a lot of things going on."
Bravo was stripped of the West Indies one-day captaincy a year ago and then was left out of the World Cup squad. He retired from test cricket in January.
He is the older brother of Darren Bravo, who was on the team which lost the first test to Australia last weekend in Hobart by an innings and 212 runs.
"Those in charge have to look into themselves," Dwayne Bravo said. "We don't have proper grounds, proper nets or a proper academy. All these things are a part of our downfall."
