BCCI slaps Rs 250cr damages claim on west Indies

Left fuming by the West Indian cricketers’ mid-series pullout due to a pay dispute with their cricketing body, the Board forCricket Control in India (BCCI) has demanded a damages claim of Rs 250 crore ($42 million) on the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB).

West Indies cricket plunged into an unprecedented crisis following the decision of the team to not go ahead with the tour of India following the fourth ODI in Dharamsala and the BCCI’s damages claim could bring the bankrupt West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), which is going through its worst internal crisis, to its knees.
