West Indies player Darren Sammy on Thursday said that he had an -interesting conversation- with -one of the guys- and both are now looking at ways to educate people regarding racism rather than focusing on the negatives. Taking to Twitter, Sammy wrote, "I am pleased to say that I have had a really interesting conversation with one of the guys and we are looking at ways to educate rather than focusing on the negatives. My brother reassured me that he operated from a place of love and I believe him."

The debate around racism in cricket kickstarted after Sammy alleged racism during his stint with Sunrisers Hyderabad in the 2014 Indian Premier League. The player had lost his cool as he learned the meaning of the word -Kalu-. Earlier, Sammy had released a video saying that the racial slurs against him were used within the Sunrisers camp. "I have played all over the world and I have been loved by many people, I have embraced all dressing rooms where I have played. So, I was listening to Hasan Minhaj as to how some of the people in his culture describe black people," Sammy had said in a video posted on his Instagram account.
