West Indies all-rounder Sherfane Rutherford has also appeared in IPL. He also plays Caribbean Premier League (CPL). This batsman of Gujarat Titans has now made a big allegation against the owner of his CPL team. The team owner blamed 26-year-old Sherfane Rutherford for the defeat after a match and sent him a message. Sherfane has broken his silence on this incident and expressed his displeasure and said that it is important to respect a player.

Rutherford has broken his silence after the controversy after a match in CPL 2024. Rutherford's team St Kitts and Nevis Patriots lost in the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Barbados Royals match. After this, he was asked by the management to leave the team. At the same time, the owner sent a message to Rutherford and blamed him for the defeat. On this matter, Sherman said in a conversation with Cricbuzz, 'It is important that you respect the player because at the end of the day, I did what I should have done. I did not lose intentionally. After the match against Barbados, the owner sent me a message and said that the team lost because of me. I told him that this is not the right time to send a message to any player.'

Rutherford further said about the owner of the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots team that he does not have knowledge of cricket. 26-year-old Rutherford said we are also professional people. We also have feelings and emotions. If we do not perform well, we also get hurt. He (team owner) has not played this game. He does not have knowledge of cricket. So how will you know what is good and what is bad. All this is seen in cricket. At the end of the day, our decision can take us forward, so I think he has done wrong.

Sherfane's performance was poor in CPL 2024. He scored only 35 runs in four matches. Now he will be seen in IPL 2025. Gujarat bought him for Rs 2.60 crore in the auction. Earlier he was part of Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL 2024.
