A strange incident occurred on the cricket field where the entire match was called off as the captain did not arrive at the right time to deliver the ball. In fact, this situation has happened in the West Indies. The captain of the Jamaica Scorpions, John Campbell, did not reach the toss on time when the home ODI tournament entered the final, so the referee decided to call off the game. The West Indies Cricket Association has suspended John Campbell for four matches due to his undisciplined conduct. Campbell apologized after realizing his mistake.
My actions were a protest against the match officials
John Campbell later apologized for not arriving on time for the throw-in and said I apologized on my behalf for any disruption to the final. I acknowledge that my actions may be viewed as a protest against a match official’s decision. However, my intention was not for them to think that my actions undermined their rights or brought the game into disrepute. I fully understand and will continue to understand the importance of decisions regarding gaming rights and dignity. Let me tell you, due to rain in this game, the referee decided to score the round 20-20. Therefore, the captains of both teams were unhappy and neither of them played. Afterwards, Campbell admitted his mistake. Therefore, there will be no champion or runner-up in the 2024-25 season.
Campbell has played 28 games so far
John Campbell has played 28 international matches for the West Indies so far. This includes 20 Tests, 6 ODIs and 2 T20s.
