Board Of Control For Cricket In India To Consider Lifting Sanctions On WICB

The Board of Control for Cricket in India "is set to deliberate whether to revoke the suspension imposed on bilateral tours with West Indies" following its team's pull-out midway through the India tour last October, according to Gollapudi & Karhadkar of ESPN. The BCCI "slapped punitive damages" on the West Indies Cricket Board amounting to $41.97M, calling the abandonment of the India tour a "monumental disaster." But hope "emerged for West Indies" following the Oct. 17 meeting between WICB President Dave Cameron and CEO Michael Muirhead with the BCCI top brass in Mumbai, "which took place a day before the BCCI's working committee meeting." Muirhead confirmed that he along with Cameron met BCCI President Shashank Manohar and Secretary Anurag Thakur "along with a few other BCCI officials at the Indian board's headquarters in Mumbai." Muirhead said that "he and Cameron came out of that meeting with the feeling that a resolution could be worked out." Muirhead: "We are certainly on the road to resolution" (ESPN, 11/5).
