Colin Graves publically criticises England after their World Cup and Caribbean failures.

“It’s down to the players who have been on the park – nobody else,” said Graves. “The performances have been a disgrace; they have been unacceptable. The players need to take a long, hard look at themselves as far as I’m concerned.

“We’ve given them everything they wanted – contracts, salaries, we’ve given them everything. So they can’t turn round and say England's done this or England's done that.

“In the past, they’ve blamed the Carribean pitches and said we can’t get a result pitch in Grenada. Well, we’ve had bloody result pitches this year, but we can't win on them. Devendera Bishoo managed to get a 5-fer on that wicket and Moeen Ali got carted about."

“Don’t blame the bloody pitch, it’s not the pitch. It’s the fact they can’t play on it, that’s the problem.”
