Cricket West Indies (CWI) have hit back at reports of a rift within the team, labelling it a "malicious attack" on the credibility of captain Kieron Pollard.
In a statement, CWI make reference to "voice notes" which "circulated on social media" and the Trinidad and Tobago Newsday reports that the voice notes in question claim the West Indies Player Association is "very upset" about the treatment of all-rounder Odean Smith.
Smith featured in first two T20Is against England but, after bowling just one over and facing three balls across the two games, he was dropped for the third T20I in favour of Rovman Powell, who went on to score a match-winning hundred.
