Kochi: For the West Indies there were two obvious reasons to celebrate the eve of the One-Day International series opener but strangely it got off on a wrong note that even led to the cancellation of unveiling of the Mircromax Cup that the teams will fight for during the five-match series.It was two years ago on this day the Windies won the Twenty20 World Cup and also on Tuesday skipper Dwayne Bravo celebrated his 31st birthday, but the Caribbean decided to keep the partying within the team hotel and not share with the world.
The Windies skipped their training session at the Jawaharlal Nehru stadium here even though they had requested for the post-noon slot and to make things more fishy birthday boy Bravo didn’t turn up for the mandatory pre-match press conference at the venue.
It is understood from reliable sources that all was not well inside the team hotel and the visitors had alleged fallout with their sponsors that led up to the
cancellation of the trophy unveiling, which was scheduled at the team hotel, where both teams are put up.
