WICB lobbies regional players

Thu, Oct 30, '14

In an attempt to gain the initiative in the standoff with its international players, WICB president Dave Cameron has sent a letter of reassurance to regional players, days before the domestic season starts.

Incidentally Cameron sent out the letter, which has been seen by ESPNcricinfo, the day before the WICB's board of directors met to discuss the crisis arising out of West Indies players' pullout from the India tour earlier this month over a payments-structure dispute.

It is clear that Cameron does not want the issue to impact the revamped first-class tournament, the Professional Cricket League (PCL), even as the international players, WICB and West Indies Players Association (WIPA) start a fresh round of negotiations to resolve the deadlock.
