Ramnarine said WIPA had read the Guardian reports about disciplinary action against Simmons. “The reports also indicate that Simmons is unaware of any negative action against him. He is quoted further as stating that he was disappointed at not having been selected for upcoming tournaments involving West Indies teams.” WIPA also asked the board to verify the contents of the report from the Australian tour and to say if Simmons was accused of indiscipline. The letter read: “We would be grateful if you would inform as to the accuracy of the reports mentioned. If, indeed, they are correct, was Lendl informed of the complaints levelled against him and given the opportunity to respond to them? Natural justice dictates that he should not be deprived of the chance to defend himself, especially since his career could be at stake.”
