The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has decided to suspend all bilateral tours involving the West Indies, in response to the Caribbean team’s withdrawing from the latest India tour.
India was expected to play five series against West Indies in the next eight years, including four visits to the Caribbean.
While a BCCI release made no specific mention of any claim for damages, the Indian Board had earlier announced that it would initiate legal proceedings against the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB).
The Board statement also did not mention any action against West Indies players who participate in the lucrative Indian Premier League (IPL).
It now appears unlikely that the players will be suspended from participation in the league, with their franchises backing them.
The working committee of the BCCI meet in Hyderabad to discuss the aftermath of West Indies' pull-out, following a dispute between the players and their union – the West Indies Players Association (WIPA) over the new compensation package negotiated on their behalf with the WICB.
The WICB is scheduled to meet on Tuesday in Barbados to discuss the premature end to the tour.
