    "editor1": "Cricket West Indies: West Indies head coach Daren Sammy has called for justice and fairness on and off the field, as he addressed two sensitive issues ahead of the second Test against Australia in Grenada \u2014 controversial umpiring decisions in Barbados and the sexual assault allegations involving a West Indies player.\n<p>Reflecting on the fallout from the first Test, Sammy revealed that match officials admitted there were mistakes made during the game at Kensington Oval, particularly decisions that hurt West Indies at crucial moments.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sammy, who was fined 15 per cent of his match fee and handed a demerit point for his post-match comments on umpiring, said he had no regrets about what he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI strongly believed in what I said. We\u2019ve had further chats (with the officials). They\u2019ve clarified some stuff. There has been some admission of error as well. This was Barbados, and we\u2019re now in Grenada, so we\u2019ve left that behind. I don\u2019t hold grudges. I said what I said, based on what I saw. I\u2019ve been punished for it. I wish Adrian (Holdstock) all the best, to be honest. I mean, we\u2019re all human. I have nothing against the umpires. I wish he has an awesome game,\" Sammy was quoted by ESPNCricinfo as saying.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sammy further addressed the ongoing allegations of sexual assault against a West Indies player. Guyana-based Kaieteur News reported last week that women have reportedly come forward with claims dating back to 2023, though no charges have been laid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all aware of what\u2019s been going on in the media. I\u2019m very close to my players. I\u2019ve had conversations with them, making sure their mental space is good. One thing I could say is that we believe in justice. We are a community that believes justice must be served.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"However, there\u2019s a process. We will continue to support in whatever way we can to make sure that due process and the right system is followed. As a cricketing board, for me as the head coach, I want justice for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"But, as of now, it\u2019s all allegations. And we know the justice system. You\u2019ve got to wait for things to process the right way,\" Sammy said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\"However, there\u2019s a process.
