The controversy is a part and parcel of the sports. Sometimes players get involved in an on-field banter whereas sometimes it takes off the field as well. In the long history of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/dhonis-india-ambitions-might-be-over-harsha-bhogle-amid-the-possibility-of-ipl-getting-cancelled/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">cricket</a>, there have been several occasions when cricket hogged the spotlight due to some unsavoury incidents that splashed mud on the reputation of the game.

Cricket is called as gentlemen&#8217;s game but sometimes it gentlemen have been spotted crossing over the line due to which they etched their name in the history of cricket due to their bad behaviour. From spot-fixing to ball-tampering to arguments on the field&#8211; cricket has seen everything over the long history.

In the list of top 10 cricket playing nations, West Indies cricketers are known for their jolly and fun-loving nature. If it is game or nature, they are admired by the fans from across the globe. Even, there was a time when they dominated world cricket for more than a decade. In the meantime, there were some controversies that rocked the West Indies cricket and the world.

Let&#8217;s list out five 5 Controversies in West Indies cricket history :

1. Controversial tour of England to West Indies (1953-1954)

England travelled to West Indies back in 1953-54 for playing cricketing series. At that time, the hosts were also fighting for their independence from the Commonwealth. The state of the country was not that good at all. But, England decided to travel West Indies for the Test series

Led Hutton, the skipper of England at that time had a tough outing to <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/sri-lanka-vs-west-indies-3rd-odi-preview-chance-for-the-caribbeans-to-find-some-form/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Caribbean </a>island due to his own behaviour. The visitors&#8217; skipper was in no terms to meet and mingle with opponent players due to their colour. During the match, the spectators from the stands threw bottles in the ground after a controversial run-out in the match. The things were not going smooth.

And, Hutton gave air to another controversy when he ignored the wishes given by Alexander Bustamante. Later on, his managed was assaulted one of the members from minister&#8217;s union. It ended up being one of the most controversial tours until now in the history of cricket.

2. New Zealand vs West Indies (1979-1980)

West Indies Cricket team travelled to <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/world-no-1-team-cant-be-beaten-like-this-wasim-jaffer-shows-his-disappointment/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">New Zealand</a> for playing four-match Test series. The visitors announced a strong squad on their important outing with the likes of Michael Holding, Colin Croft, Collis King and Joel Garner. The series opener was played at Dunedin and the spectators might have expected to get an enthralling encounter but that never happened.

Instead of that, they got to watch one of the biggest controversies in the history of West Indies cricket. In the series opener, the West Indies bowler never looked happy with the standards of umpiring. Things went beyond their head due to which they lost their cool on the field.

During the match, there was an instance when Michael Holding kicked the stumps whereas Colin Croft banged into the umpire during his delivery tread. This all gave birth to one of the biggest controversies that rocked the cricket world with a bang.

3. Blood on the ground at Sabina Park

Team India travelled to West Indies for playing four-match Test series. Both the teams gave a tough fight to each other and the series was at the level until the final game. The series decider was scheduled to be played in Kingston. Clive Lloyd, the skipper of the team at that time, won the toss and elected to field first. The hosts&#8217; were already frustrated after suffering a defeat in the 3rd <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/5-players-one-may-not-know-have-played-test-cricket/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Test</a>. So, they implemented a negative strategy of bowling short-pitched deliveries on an uneven bouncy track.

On Day 2, Anshuman Gaekwad became the first victim of the same and was hit on the left ear followed by the injuries of Gundappa Viswanath and Brijesh Patel. These three players then didn&#8217;t take part in the game. A total of five Indian players got injured throughout the match.

The things went so bad that in the second innings, Bishen Singh Bedi and Co. had no batsmen in their line-up to bat due to which he declared the innings with a lead of merely 12 runs on the board. The hosts&#8217; won that match quite easily on the back of their poor strategy. But, they were also criticised for acquiring such an approach against their opponent.

4. Players vs Management (1998)

And, the first incident cum controversy hogged the spotlight back in 1998 when their national team was scheduled to travel South Africa.

The players put some of their demands like payouts, allowance and travel arrangements in front of their cricket board. At that time, WICB accepted all the demands of the players and the squad left for playing series against Proteas. However, when players reached London, they didn&#8217;t get what they had expected from the board. Hence, Brian Lara (captain on that tour) and Carl Hooper (vice-captain) stayed opted to stay in London only.

West Indies Cricket board fired both the players with immediate effect as they had to suffer huge losses. Later on, the players and the board came on to the same terms. After that, the team tour went to South Africa where they lost the Test series by 5-0.

5. Dwayne Bravo&#8217;s team pulled out of the tour of India

<img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-380602" src="https://crictracker-admin-panel-08032022.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/media/attachments/Dwayne-Bravo-1.jpg" alt="Dwayne Bravo" width="640" height="400" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"><figcaption id="caption-attachment-380602" class="wp-caption-text">Dwayne Bravo.

They were scheduled to play five-match ODI series followed a T20I and three Tests. The visitors&#8217; looked pretty strong and got off to a great start to their tour. They won the ODI series opener.

The second game got abandoned due to rain. But, in the third match, the Men in Blue marked a strong comeback and won it by a margin of 59 runs. Also, in 4th ODI, the hosts managed a convincing victory that helped them in taking a 2-1 lead against the visitors in the series.

Meanwhile, there was something the things between West Indies cricketers and West Indies Players Association. The players at that time said that they were forcefully asked to sign papers in which it was mentioned that all the sponsorship payments that players were supposed to get will be used in the development of first-class cricketers. By that time, nobody had a second thought in the mind that players will walk-over from the series.

Yes, Bravo&#8217;s team pulled out of the tour after the fourth ODI that was played at Dharmsala. So far it was the biggest controversy that rocked the cricket world. Moreover, it was quite embarrassing from the perspective of a nation.

The controversy is a part and parcel of the sports. Sometimes players get involved in an on-field banter whereas sometimes it takes off the field as well.
