Antigua & Barbuda Falcons Apologize for Coach Paul Nixon’s Criticism of Cricket West Indies

The franchise issued a conciliatory statement to ease tensions after public complaints about communication over Justin Greaves’ injury.

Overview

  • In an August 31 statement, the Falcons said Paul Nixon "totally regrets" his remarks and affirmed a commitment to a collaborative relationship with CWI.
  • Nixon’s comments followed an eight-wicket loss to Trinbago Knight Riders on August 27, when he called CWI’s handling of updates on Greaves "unprofessional and disrespectful."
  • Greaves has missed all seven Falcons CPL matches this season after being injured on West Indies duty during the August ODI series against Pakistan.
  • Nixon said Greaves received an injection that did not resolve the issue, citing poor communication about the player’s condition before the match.
  • Coverage reported no public response from Cricket West Indies, as the Falcons sit mid-table with three wins from seven and one abandoned in Nixon’s first season in charge.
