The West Indies Cricket Board eventually confirmed late Friday that the team’s tour of India had been abandoned following a pay dispute with their own players.
In a statement issued from their headquarters in St John’s Antigua, the WICB blamed their own players for the collapse of the tour.
“The WICB clarifies that players in the West Indies Squad currently in India represented by Mr. Dwayne Bravo (one-day captain) indicated to the WICB through the West Indies Team Management that the players have taken a decision to withdraw their services for the remainder of the tour of India.”
