Speaking on Caribbean station SportsMax TV, Hughes said the evidence is “pretty strong”.

“The allegations that were levelled by the victim were levelled two years ago,” Hughes said.

“An investigation was conducted and we understand that there were recommendations by the Office of Public Prosecutions to institute charges.

“I think the evidence is pretty strong in relation to what is happening here.”

Cricket West Indies has reportedly not received any official communication on the allegation and declined to comment further.

It comes as the West Indies suffered a big defeat at the hands of Australia in the first Test on Monday morning (AEDT).
