Sarwan: Hilaire threatened my career
The West Indies Cricket Board was recently directed to award TT$1 million (US$155,900) to Ramnaresh Sarwan for “publicly denigrating and humiliating” the Guyanese middle order batsman. The payment is part of a $1.5 million pay out in damages which the Board incurred recently. Sarwan was awarded the damages after winning his arbitration matter against the WICB…
In his evidence at the arbitration, Sarwan stated that Dr. Ernest Hilaire threatened him and told him if he did not change his attitude, his career would come to an end.
Ramnaresh Sarwan
Sarwan stated that following the West Indies tour of Australia in 2009-2010, he received a letter from Hilaire which indicated that the WICB had just concluded its review of the tour and had concerns about his ‘attitude and approach to fitness and physical preparation’…
“He told me if I did not change my attitude, my career would end, and he hung up.”
Sarwan said he immediately called back Hilaire and asked if he was threatening him. He said Hilaire told him he would inform the selectors to act accordingly.
