New Delhi, Apr 5: Celebrating their fantastic victories over India and England to win the World Twenty20 for a second time, Dwayne Bravo may have freely added a couple of more names to his West Indies cricket theme song 'Champions, Champions, Chamnpions...'.

After all their dominance of world cricket for over a decade-and-a-half in the 1980s and 90s, West Indies have been the most despised team in the new millennium, both the players and the administrators behaving in an irresponsibly churlish manner.

The selectors made it worse by acquiescing with the board in sacking captains and players for standing up for their legitimate rights. All things put together, they saw to it that the players were divided. Any captain or player trying to resolve the issue was branded a crony of the board.

The problem is that a majority of players in the 2016 champion side are not members of the West Indies Players Association (WIPA) which deals with their board and the key members of the negotiating team are from one country.
