West Indies cricket legend Dwayne Bravo is unhappy with Rovman Powell losing his job as the T20I captain. Shai Hope has replaced Powell as the West Indies T20I captain.
Bravo feels that this ‘decision is one of the worst ever’. The former Mumbai Indians all-arounder went onto Instagram and expressed his views on this hot cricket topic.
He said: “@windiescricket once again you guys prove to the people of the Caribbean and the cricket world that the injustices towards players continues! As a former player and a fan of WI cricket.”
Bravo added: “this is easily one of the worst decisions ever @ravipowell52 taking over captaincy when our T20 team was in 9th spot and was able to move up to 3rd sport in the rankings and this is how you guys repay him, the bad treatment towards players when would it Stop! This is so sad on all levels..make it make sense! SMH.”
Powell did lead West Indies in 37 T20Is, winning 19 matches and making his win percentage 51.35.
These stats make his run best after the leadership under ex-player Daren Sammy, where West Indies won two T20 World Cups.
At present, Powell is playing for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League 2025. KKR did pay Rs 1.5 crore to get the player in last year’s mega auction for the 2025 season.
Miles Bascombe, who is the CWI Director of Cricket, made it clear that this decision was taken after getting inputs from head coach Sammy.
Bascombe said: “In terms of our white-ball leadership, after receiving the advice of Head Coach Daren Sammy on the intention to transition to Shai Hope, we spoke to Rovman Powell, who received the decision with professionalism and grace.”
