The Indian cricket board suspended all future tours with West Indies earlier today and said it will take legal action against the Caribbean board for their team’s abrupt pullout from their India tour last week.
“BCCI will initiate legal proceedings against West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) due to the abrupt cancellation of this tour,” Indian cricket board secretary Sanjay Patel said in a statement.
“All bilateral tours between BCCI and WICB stand suspended,” he added after the board’s working committee meeting in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
The tourists abandoned the series after Friday’s fourth one-dayer, with another one-dayer, a Twenty20 international and three test matches left to play, over a protracted payment dispute between the players and their board.
