'Love doesn't buy you groceries at supermarket': Daren Sammy's big remark as he compares pay gap among India, WI players
Hindustan TimesMany players from the West Indies have been increasingly participating in cash-rich leagues across the world. Many a times, the Windies cricket has been in headlines due to lesser pays and perks; in recent times, the side's big-ticket players like Andre Russell and Sunil Narine have had fall-outs with the board over them playing abroad; both were not selected for the national team's squad for the T20 World Cup. Former West Indies all-rounder Daren Sammy has voiced his concerns about the pay disparity between West Indies' cricketers and cricketers from other nations. “An India A list contracted player could probably make a million dollar a year compared to a Windies A lister, who would earn USD 150,000,” said Sammy. The former West Indies captain further cited the example of New Zealand cricket board on how they cared about their players' interests and handled schedules accordingly.
