SportsMax TV's coverage of the incident cites an article titled 'Monster in Maroon' was published on Guyanese newspaper Kaieteur News on Thursday. Rawle Toney, the author of the piece, alleges that action is yet to be taken by Guyanese authorities against the accused cricketer.
'The allegation was serious and credible. But like so many others, the story began to fade, not because it lacked truth, but because the system wore the survivor down,' read a line from the report.
Lawyer Nigel Hughes, who was approached by one of the victims two years ago, appeared on SportsMax TV and further revealed that the accused cricketer was part of the West Indian squad that pulled off a stunning 8-run victory over Australia at The Gabba in January 2024.

Sunil Gavaskar warns fans on fakes quotes attributed to him: Fact-check and verify
Indian cricket legend, Sunil Gavaskar highlighted how several sports websites and individual accounts have been attributing fake quotes under his name and has warned fans to be aware of such activity on social shared a video on his Instagram handle where he highlighted the issue. The Indian batting great has been a part of the coverage for the ongoing Test series between England and India. He has not specifically mentioned the quotes or the sources that have been spreading the false information. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sunil Gavaskar (@gavaskarsunilofficial)advertisement"Over the last few months, it has come to my notice that a lot of sports websites and individual accounts have been attributing comments and quotes to me that I've never made. I request everybody to verify, fact-check, and not to believe everything that they write, particularly coming from some of these individual accounts and sports websites," Gavaskar shared. Gavaskar's comments have been going viral, especially during the first Test when Rishabh Pant scored a century in the first innings. He backtracked on his comments from the Melbourne Test against Australia and came up with a new quip to celebrate his former cricketer has also been vocal about how he was unhappy with the fact that they decided to rename the Pataudi Trophy to the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy. He was particularly displeased with the fact that Sachin was the best cricketer in all respects and deserved to have his name up first, instead of the fast-bowling ex-cricketer will hope that the Indian team can bounce back from their crushing defeat to England in the opening Test at Headingley. Despite Pant, Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal hitting centuries in the first innings. Gavaskar was also fairly critical on the Indian bowling unit for their poor show at Indian bowling attack, barring Jasprit Bumrah, was fairly disappointing, and it remains to be seen if the bowling unit can cope should Bumrah not participate in the second Test at Birmingham. Shubman Gill will certainly have a big test when it comes to his leadership, should they play without their premier pacer.- EndsMust Watch
