MUMBAI, India (CMC) — The West Indies Cricket Board’s finances could take another huge hit with the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) saying Saturday it was now reviewing its 2016 tour of the Caribbean.
Indian officials are fuming after West Indies players abandoned the one-day tour of India Friday, following the fourth One-Day International in Dharamsala, over a pay dispute with their union, the West Indies Players Association.
The players’ move scuppered Monday’s final ODI carded for Kolkata, the lone Twenty20 International in Cuttack on Wednesday, and the three-Test series that was expected to bowl off October 30th.
“It will be very difficult to play West Indies in bilateral series in future. They have to demonstrate the willingness that such situations never happen again,” international media quoted BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel as saying.
“I would say that India’s next tour of West Indies is highly unlikely to go ahead in the current situation.”
The series started under a cloud of uncertainty with West Indies players threatening to withdraw their services ahead of the first ODI in Kochi, over their contractual grouse with WIPA.
They argued the new terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, which WIPA signed recently with the West Indies Cricket Board, would result in a drastic reduction in their earnings.?
