Vivian Richards knocks ICC for criticism of West Indies

St. John's (Antigua), April 29: Legendary former captain Vivian Richards has chided the International Cricket Council (ICC) for reprimanding the West Indies following their WorldT20 victory earlier this month.

Richards, who never lost a Test series during his tenure as the West Indies captain, accused the ICC of holding its members to different standards, noting that financial powerhouses India had been given a free pass, reports CMC.

"There are rules in the one-day game under the auspices of the ICC, like for instance the system where you go back to the third umpire and things like that," He told the Observer newspaper here on Thursday.
