Former West Indies legend Brian Lara<\/a> took a veiled dig at the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Tuesday, holding the tournament partly responsible for West Indies\u2019 shocking batting performance in the third Test against Australia. The Caribbean side was bundled out for just 27 runs\u2014the second-lowest total in Test history\u2014during the maiden Pink Ball Test at Sabina Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mitchell Starc ripped through the lineup with a record six-wicket haul, while Scott Boland claimed a hat-trick as the hosts collapsed in just 87 balls. Australia clinched a 176-run victory to seal a 3-0 whitewash in the Frank Worrell Trophy series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on the cricket podcast Stick To Cricket<\/em>, Brian Lara attributed West Indies\u2019 decline to IPL and other T20 leagues, claiming players now view international cricket as a platform to attract franchise contracts rather than striving to excel in domestic cricket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe played first-class cricket and some of us even played county cricket to try to get into the West Indies team,\u201d Brian Lara said. \u201cWe are now using the West Indies team as a stepping stone, as a stage for us to get contracts around. And that is not a fault of the player<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

David Lloyd Blames \u2018Big Three\u2019 for West Indies\u2019 Decline; Hooper Calls for Accountability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Former England cricketer David Lloyd criticized India, Australia, and England for contributing to the decline of West Indies cricket. Speaking on a podcast, Lloyd accused the \u201cbig three\u201d of monopolizing cricket\u2019s financial resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe big three take all the money. England, Australia, India take off the money. They get the big broadcast deals. You\u2019ve got to have a more even distribution to allow West Indies, New Zealand, Sri Lanka to compete,\u201d Lloyd said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, former West Indies captain Carl Hooper, speaking on ABC Cricket after their 0-3 Test series defeat to Australia, demanded accountability from Cricket West Indies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI really think a few heads should roll for this because they\u2019ve made some decisions and this is the result. They made wholesale, massive changes that I think weren\u2019t needed<\/a>. To make such changes and then get results like this, Cricket West Indies have to hold up their hands and be accountable,\u201d Hooper asserted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
