Controversial tour of England to West Indies (1953-1954) |

by chairman
England travelled to West Indies back in 1953-54 for playing cricketing series. At that time, the hosts were also fighting for their independence from the Commonwealth. The state of the country was not that good at all. But, England decided to travel West Indies for the Test series
Led Hutton, the skipper of England at that time had a tough outing to Caribbean island due to his own behaviour. The visitors’ skipper was in no terms to meet and mingle with opponent players due to their colour. During the match, the spectators from the stands threw bottles in the ground after a controversial run-out in the match. The things were not going smooth.
And, Hutton gave air to another controversy when he ignored the wishes given by Alexander Bustamante. Later on, his managed was assaulted one of the members from minister’s union. It ended up being one of the most controversial tours until now in the history of cricket.
Always tell someone how you feel because opportunities are lost in the blink of an eye but regret can last a lifetime.
