ST JOHN’S (Antigua), April 20: West Indies cricket, dogged by problems on and off the field, is facing another split as another contracts feud returns to haunt the game.
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) said on Wednesday that they have given players a deadline to sign retainer deals or face being axed from the squad.
“We shall recommend to the WICB Board of Directors that a firm cut off point be established as Friday April 21 for the retainer contracts to be settled.
The impasse comes just a year after seven leading players, including Brian Lara, were dropped from the Test squad in a row over personal contracts. —AFP
