Board Of Control For Cricket In India Gives New Deadline To West Indies Cricket Board

The West Indies Cricket Board has been given until Tuesday to respond to the Board of Control for Cricket in India's $42M compensation claim for "abandoning midway the Test and ODI series last year," according to the IANS. Quoting the "contents of an email from the BCCI," the Trinidad Express newspaper reported the Indian board "could no longer hold off on the claim lodged last month." If no response from the WICB was "forthcoming by the stated deadline," the BCCI made it clear it would "initiate legal proceedings in the appropriate forum against the WICB without further intimation." WICB Communication Manager Imran Khan confirmed receipt of the BCCI's latest communication "but could not elaborate further." The multi-million dollar claim "arose from the abandoned tour of India last October, when the West Indies one-day team walked out of the series after failing to settle a contracts dispute with their union, WIPA" (IANS, 1/24). CMC reported long serving Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Regional Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves has "blasted the leadership" of WICB President Dave Cameron as "poor" and "embarrassing," and said that the Jamaican exec "needs to be axed or resign as head of the regional entity." Gonsalves was speaking in reference to Cameron's handling of the "recent players contracts impasse, which resulted from a disputed Memorandum of Understanding and the subsequent abandonment of the India tour by the West Indies one-day team." Gonsalves: "I think his leadership in this regard has been extremely poor and has embarrassed us before the world. I happen to know certain facts which draw me to the conclusion that it is his sole leadership that led to the premature end of the tour of India. And I believe he bears heavy responsibility and really he should withdraw himself from any consideration for any leadership or from his term" (CMC, 1/25).
