“Enough is enough”, said all-rounder Dwayne Bravo as he opened up on the raging issue of racism and called for “respect and equality” for black people.
Bravo joined the likes of his former captain Daren Sammy and Chris Gayle in denouncing racism in the wake of George Floyd’s killing at the hands of a white police officer in the US.
“It’s sad to see what’s going on around the world. As a black man, we know the history of what black people have been through. We never ask for revenge, we ask for equality and respect. That’s it,” Bravo, also a former Windies captain, told former Zimbabwe cricketer Pommie Mbangwa in an Instagram live chat.
“We give respect to others. Why is it that we are facing this over and over? We just want respect. We share love and appreciate people for who they are. That’s what is most important,” said the 36-year-old, who has played 40 Tests, 164 ODIs and 71 T20Is for the West Indies.
