Dashing all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has joined skipper Darren Sammy in criticising the West Indies Cricket Board, saying “even BCCI does more” for them compared to the WICB.

“We know that they did not want or believe that we could win this tournament. It was basically us against them. Even the BCCI does more for us,” he added.
