Calcutta: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to take “every possible” legal action against the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB).

The working committee of the BCCI will hold its emergent meeting in Hyderabad on Tuesday.

This follows an unprecedented move by the Caribbean team to pull out midway through the tour of India because of the pay dispute with their Board. The West Indies players were adamant to withdraw their services since they were unhappy with the new contracts, offered to them after landing in India.

The BCCI’s anger is directed more at WICB than at Dwayne Bravo and his teammates. While some want action against the players, which would include exclusion from one edition of IPL, others feel there was a total lack of transparency on part of the WICB and its players’ association.

A section within the BCCI also feel that the players were possibly kept in the dark about their pay-related negotiations. That being so, some feel that the action should be limited to the WICB.

Before the working committee assembles, the governing council of the Indian Premier League (IPL) will have a meeting where the issue of West Indies players’ participation in future editions of the cash-rich league could come up for discussion.

“We have suffered huge losses due to the decision of the West Indies to pull out of the tour. We are going to claim all the damages and pursue the matter with the ICC,” BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel had said after the West Indies pull out.

“The working committee members will have dialogue on this and after that we may consider to not pursue further Future Tour Programmes (FTP) with the West Indies,” Patel had said.

Hours after the West Indies pulled out of the tour, the BCCI approached Sri Lanka Cricket and quickly decided on a five-match ODI series to be played from November 1 to 14.
