Dwayne Bravo has launched an emotional attack on the West Indies Cricket Board, saying "too much politics is killing our cricket".
Bravo was stripped of the side's ODI captaincy a year ago then left out of the West Indies' World Cup squad, despite being one of the best players in the region.
The snubbing came after the West Indies left India mid-tour due to contract issues.
Bravo hasn't played an ODI since, while he retired from Test cricket in January due to frustration over a lack of communication with selectors.
The allrounder, who will represent the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League, lamented the sorry state of affairs.
"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 said on Wednesday.
"Those in charge have to look into themselves.
"We don't have proper grounds, proper nets or a proper academy. All these things are a part of our downfall.
"The relationship between players, board members and management staff - it needs to get stronger and tighter.
"They need to have a lot more honesty. There's a lot of dishonest people in charge at the moment."
