Corporates Clash, Cricket Suffers
Friday, November 26th, 2004Wisden Cricinfo: “The WICB has now found itself in a curious position. Obviously there was no support from Digicel for the board’s initial offer of a buyout. But by insisting that the players break their individual contracts, which had been signed with the WICB’s knowledge, it is also placing itself at odds with one of its official sponsors for the World Cup. The ongoing impasse could also force the ICC to ask questions about the manner in which the World Cup will be organised, and might even make it look at an alternate venue.”
