The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) has again bypassed the players' association and sent draft match/tour contracts directly to 30 players to make themselves available for the upcoming tour to Australia.

The board said the players accepting the invitation are required to sign the letter and return it by 5:00 p.m. on September 19.

There have been no negotiations with the West Indies Players' Association (WIPA) on the terms and conditions for the tour and the draft contract sent the players are believed to include the controversial Clause 5 that led to a third-string side touring Sri Lanka.

The 30 players invited are:

Banks, Omari
Carlton Baugh Jr.
Tino Best
Ian Bradshaw
Dwayne Bravo
Deighton Butler
Shiv Chanderpaul
Pedro Collins
Corey Collymore
Narsingh Deonarine
Fidel Edwards
Daren Ganga
Chris Gayle
Ryan Hinds
Wavell Hinds
Sylvester Joseph
Brian Lara
Jermaine Lawson
Xavier Marshall
Dave Mohammed
Runako Morton
Daren Powell
Denesh Ramdin
Marlon Samuels
Ramnaresh Sarwan
Lendl Simmons
Dwight Washington
