Tour uncertainty

CONFUSION surrounds the status of the West Indies cricket team’s tour of India.

The Board of Control of Cricket in India announced this morning that it had been informed by the West Indies Cricket Board that the remainder of the tour had been cancelled due a pay dispute with the players.

Hours later, however, the WICB advised that contrary to media reports, it has taken no decision to discontinue the tour.

The WICB promised to make a statement after the fourth One-Day International but five hours after the match, it was yet issue a release.

The WICB directors convened this afternoon to discuss the issue. (HG)
