A prominent West Indies cricketer from Guyana is facing serious allegations of sexual harassment and assault from at least 11 women, including one minor, according to local media reports.

 

Women have accused the player of various forms of misconduct, including sexual harassment, assault, and rape. The report also alleges that efforts were made to cover up the cricketer’s actions.

 

When a media outlet reached out to Cricket West Indies for comment, President Kishore Shallow stated he was not in a position to comment at this time.

 

The accused cricketer was reportedly part of the West Indies squad that defeated Australia in Brisbane in January 2024. Following the tour, he received a warm welcome upon returning to Guyana.

 

Renowned lawyer Nigel Hughes revealed that one of the alleged victims had first contacted him two years ago. Although no legal action was taken at the time, fresh investigations into the matter have recently resumed.

 

This development could pose a significant challenge for West Indies cricket, particularly as the team works to rebuild its reputation and improve performance on the international stage.
