Samuels opts out of teammates’ fight for rights

West Indies players, who controversially abandoned the tour of India last week, have retained legal counsel as they prepare to tackle the contentious Collective Bargaining Agreement signed by their union, West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA), but batsman Marlon Samuels has opted not to pursue this course of action along with his teammates.

This was confirmed in a release on Friday by one-day captain Dwayne Bravo, who is also acting as a spokesman for the aggrieved players. Samuels said earlier this week he was not supportive on the decision to abandon the tour and had hardly attended any of the players meetings on the troubled tour. However, Bravo rebutted Samuels’ claims, contending the Jamaican right-hander was a vocal part of the meetings held.

“I note the comments attributed to Mr Marlon Samuels from media reports and wish to state that Mr. Samuels was invited to and did attend the majority of meetings with the players on tour,” Bravo said.

Sportsmax interview last night with Scross and Marlon.

Apparently it is Pollard and Bravo that are the ring leaders.

Elegance think Pollard is the letter writer : it appear the Oaf has O level english pass  :-[

samuels is now toast

Samuels is a TEST retained contract player whom is a non WIPA union member !

Bravo and Pollard are Neither : who will be toast ? 

About time someone pulled out from this mess. I hope they all pull pout of it and find some solution to this issue peacefully.

all the comments on this thread are silly...except ketchims comment which is pure propaganda and comes'

ringleaders eh!
> > >

samules is a small minded fella eh! 
no wonder he could not marshall his talent into being the great batsman steve waugh thought he was going to be.

Skameron must have promised him the captaincy at the end of all this.

But samules is a dotish person, a fool, ignoramus and mentally deficient and generally incompetent. he wiould be an embarrassment to the west indies as captain on and off the field

Two centuries in 3 ODIs is a big achievement. I dont care what Samuels does, so long as he bats with such focus.
