CWI withdraws 4-match suspension against John Campbell

A four-match suspension previously imposed on Jamaica Scorpions captain John Campbell has been officially withdrawn.

Cricket West Indies says the decision follows a meeting of the Code of Conduct and Disciplinary Tribunal on April 4th 2025.

The Tribunal was convened to hear the case involving Barbados Pride captain Raymon Reifer regarding his conduct at the CG United Super50 Final on November 23rd 2024.

The final between Barbados Pride and Jamaica Scorpions ended without a winner after both teams refused to take the toss following a lengthy rain delay.

During the proceeding, the Tribunal took the view that the procedure of bringing the charge against Reifer was flawed and the matter therefore could not be heard.

Campbell’s matter also relates to that final and while his charge was not before the tribunal at the time, the issues raised during Reifer’s hearing informed CWI’s decision to withdraw the charges against him (Campbell).

Despite the outcome however, CWI says it is sticking to its decision to withhold disbursements saying, “It is important to note, the view is not pertaining to the merit of the charge but rather the process of the charge being laid. Notably, the Tribunal did not issue any ruling on the matter of prize money or match fees arising from the final. As such, CWI confirms that its previous decision to withhold all disbursements to both teams due to the final match not taking place, remain in place.”

Also, which Campbell’s suspension has been withdrawn, CWI says his admission of responsibility and formal apology remain on record.
