Digicel, the sponsor of the West Indies team, has regretted the leaking of a confidential memo to the public. A statement from the company said, it was "disappointed that an internal memo, given to the WICB as a confidential communication has reached the public domain," according to the BBC website. The West Indies team has been embroiled in a controversy ever since the memo, which suggested that players were more keen on having a good time off the field than performing on it, leaked out to various sections of the media.

Digicel also reaffirmed their commitment to sponsoring the West Indies team. It is currently in a US$20million contract over five years with the team. "We are enthusiastic about developing the many initiatives which will support the growth of the game," said the statement. This comes hot on the heels of the West Indies Players' Association threatening legal action against a newspaper which published the memo.

In the memo, Richard Nowell, the sponsorship liaison, reportedly lambasted the team for its behaviour, calling the team, "the poorest ambassadors from any representative team I've come across." The West Indies Cricket Board is scheduled to conduct a tour debriefing on February 20, and are expected to discuss the contents of the memo in this meeting.
