Brian Lara Indirectly Blamed IPL and Other T20 Leagues: After suffering a 0-3 defeat in the home Test series at the hands of Australia, the West Indies team is being defamed a lot.

To know the reason for the team reaching this situation, Cricket West Indies called an emergency meeting, in which veterans Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd and Viv Richards were asked to attend. What will be discussed during the meeting will be known later. But before that Brian Lara has indirectly targeted IPL for the poor performance of West Indies.

Brian Lara targeted IPL and other T20 leagues!
Brian Lara talked about this shameful performance of West Indies during a podcast and indirectly blamed IPL and other franchise leagues for this. He said that the players are using the national team as a platform so that they can attract the attention of the franchise owners. Lara said that in our time, we used to come up by performing well in domestic cricket and then get selected in the national team.
David Lloyd blamed India, Australia and England
Along with Lara, former England cricketer David Lloyd also became a part of this podcast. He held Australia and England along with India responsible for the decline of West Indies cricket. In this context, he said,
“England, Australia and India, these three big teams take all the money. They get big broadcast deals. You have to distribute revenue equally so that teams like West Indies, New Zealand and Sri Lanka can also compete.”
Cricket West Indies should admit its mistake – Carl Hooper
Former West Indies cricketer blames his own country’s board for the poor condition of the team. He demanded a change in the current system in a conversation with ABC Cricket after the 0-3 Test series defeat against Australia.
Hooper said,
“Regarding Cricket West Indies, I really believe that some people should take responsibility for this, because they took some decisions and these results are the result of those decisions. They made some big changes, changes that were not necessary in my view. It is the result of those changes that these results are being obtained. Therefore, Cricket West Indies should come forward and admit its mistake and be held accountable.”
