West Indies tour of India 2014

[SVK]

Saw a big hoarding in my city which was advert of Mcdowells, in which they have mentioned T20 match between India-WI as Mcdowells T20 Cup. Isn't Micromax title sponsor for this series? anybody else noticed it?

Sri Lanka to replace West Indies!

Shocking news for fans of WI and India. But hopefully WI players get their due payments.
BTW need to see what strict action BCCI takes against WICB after below statement-

The BCCI would "pursue all options available" and seek "appropriate action" from the ICC," referring to the abrupt end to the tour, as "such acts of indiscretion."

But why SL tour was needed? Can't players have some rest!

At the end of the day BCCI runs like a business, they need source of profit to compensate the profit lost due to windies cancellation

Now they will earn double. One by suing WICB and one earned from Srilanka series!

Lots of stake are there that might be reason they are looking for other teams...They have sold the television rights, internet rights and other many things are and BCCI is answerable .

ICC news : ICC warns against West Indies repeat | Cricket News | Cricinfo ICC Site | ESPN Cricinfo

The ICC has issued a warning against players taking contractual matters into their own hands, as West Indies did in withdrawing from their tour of India, and hinted that the right to play in domestic tournaments such as the IPL could be removed for those who transgress in future.

Several West Indies players, including the ODI captain, Dwayne Bravo, who was at the forefront of the dispute with WIPA, are regular participants in the IPL, although it has previously been suggested that their eligibility would not be affected by the walkout.
