Star all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has launched a scathing attack on West Indies Cricket Board, calling it as the "most unprofessional" in the world and its president Dave Cameron an "immature and small-minded arrogant" person. Bravo, who has had several run-ins with the WICB in the past, made the comments following the West Indies triumph in the World T20 in India. "Too much times people come down on the players. They questioned our commitment, they questioned whether we were really committed to West Indies cricket or is it just the money. A lot of people don't understand the things we go through as players dealing with our board. It is the most unprofessional board in the world to me," Bravo was quoted as saying during a Skype interview with CNC3, a television network based out of Trinidad & Tobago. As Darren Sammy gave vent to his frustration in the aftermath of their triumph, WICB president Cameron slammed the skipper's comments as "inappropriate".
