Roseau, Dominica (CMC) — West Indies cricketer Andre Fletcher is due to appear in court on Friday after he was arrested at the Douglas Charles Airport late Thursday.

Manager of the Volcanoes, Lockhard Sebastian, confirmed the cricketer’s arrest, saying “I will support him, I will not abandon him … that is the job of a manager”.

Fletcher, who played One-Day international cricket for the West Indies, is due to appear in a court in Wesley, north east of here.
