The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has approved the reprimand which its President, Pat Rousseau, gave to West Indies players, Mervyn Dillon and Dinanath Ramnarine, following the third Cable & Wireless Test match in Barbados (March 29 to April 2).

Approval of Rousseau's action came at a meeting of the Board in Antigua on Wednesday, April 11. Board members agreed with the president's strong reprimand of the two cricketers for their behaviour while batting at the end of the fifth day of the third Test between the West Indies and South Africa. Rousseau was at Kensington Oval in Barbados on the final day of the match.

Both players have been advised that their actions were not in the best interests of West Indies cricket and would be severely dealt with if repeated.
