We hope that CARICOM will understand our position.&quot;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">WICB communication manager, Imran Khan confirmed receipt of the BCCI&#39;s latest communication but could not elaborate further.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The multi-million dollar claim arose from the abandoned tour of India last October, when the West Indies one-day team walked out of the series after failing to settle a contracts dispute with their union, WIPA.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">While the discontent rumbled from the start of the tour, the West Indies players only quit following the fourth ODI in Dharamsala, with an ODI in Kolkata and Twenty20 in Cuttack remaining.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The three-Test tour, scheduled to bowl off Oct 30, 2014, was also scuppered.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">A furious BCCI accused the WICB of having &quot;complete disregard&quot; for legal commitments, contending that the cancelled tour had resulted in &quot;adverse financial ramifications&rdquo;.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Media rights make up the bulk of the losses with the BCCI estimating them at just over $35 million.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
