And out of that, we are going to the next stage where they have promised that we are going to have a meeting,&rdquo; Muirhead noted.<\/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;\">&quot;The resolution is simple that we will have the payoff repaid in matches, cricket - not the numbers I hear being bandied about.&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;\">Only in January, WICB president Dave Cameron wrote to the BCCI insisting on a &quot;cricketing solution&quot; to the impasse.&nbsp;<\/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;\">He said the regional board was open to &quot;bi-lateral or multi-lateral discussions&quot; and also proposed mediation or some &ldquo;other suitable form of (alternative dispute resolution) as may be appropriate.&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;\">The BCCI is seeking $42 million in damages to compensate for the cancelled One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and Test tour last October. The West Indies ODI players had pulled out of the planned five-match series after the fourth game in Dharamsala.<\/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;\">Their move forced the WICB to also pull the plug on the three-match Test series that was supposed to follow.<\/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;\">An infuriated BCCI subsequently blamed the WICB for the fracas and demanded the multi-million dollar compensation, threatening legal action if the payout was not forthcoming.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
