Last Updated: An active West Indies men's cricketer has been accused of sexually harassing several women in Guyana. Investigations are ongoing. A West Indies cricketer, part of the national men's team, has been accused of sexual harassment in Guyana. According to SportsMax TV, 'several' victims are claiming an alleged cover-up to protect the victims. An investigation is ongoing in the matter. The media house, in its report, said it reached out to Cricket West Indies (CWI) over the serious accusations. It asked if the board was aware of the allegations, what actions they had taken if they were, and if they were confident that they wouldn't be named in the alleged cover-up investigation. 'Cricket West Indies is unaware of the circumstances and, therefore, is not in a position to comment at this time," CWI President Kishore Shallow was quoted as saying in the report. Guyanese newspaper Kaieteur is said to be the first to bring the issue to light. In its latest report, titled 'Monster in Maroon', the newspaper claimed to have heard accounts from 'no fewer than eleven women, one of them a teenagaer', accusing the cricketer of sexual assault, rape or unwanted sexual advances. Nigel Hughes, the lawyer engaged by the family of one of the alleged victims, spoke to SportsMax TV to give details of the investigation.

The allegations that were leveled by the victim were leveled 2 years ago, and an investigation was conducted, and we understand that they were recommendations from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to institute charges. You will recall the very famous Test match, which the West Indies won in Australia, occurred at the same time, and the suspect returned together and we have heard nothing since," Hughes said. 'My firm was initially contacted about 2 years ago and then of course, with the more recent allegations, inquiries were made literally yesterday and the day before about what the status of my client's complaint was and we have not been able to obtain any significant information," he added. The West Indies men are currently playing a three-Test series against Australia, the first of which is currently on in Barbados. First Published: June 27, 2025, 12:25 IST
