The Caribbean has waited with bated breath to find out the outcome of the row between the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Well fans can go about their Friday afternoon cool down rather than wait for news from the 2pm press conference today because both parties yesterday failed to come to a decision concerning the re-establishment of ties.
Cricketing ties have broken down between the two bodies after the West Indies team aborted their tour of India last October due to a payment structure dispute with the WICB. The team led by Dwayne Bravo left the tour after the fourth one day international in the mountains of Dharamshala. At that point the Indians were leading the series 2-1 with one match to play at Kolkata. The WICB did not send a team for the three-Test series and Sri Lankan filled the voice by playing a limited overs series against the Indians.

To quote the Guardian:
T&T Guardian approached secretary of the BCCI, Anurag Thakur Singh at the Barbados Hilton yesterday and he said :”We just held the meeting with the West Indies Board and there is nothing we can report. No decision has been made, so we are going to look at helping West Indies cricket but no decision has been made as to the aborted tour “
So could this be a correct quote
but wrong context?

Correct.
The BCCI I doubt can give a decision anyway because whatever is discussed has to go back to their Board.
The WICB is who needs a decision because the India tour is supposed to be early next year and its always the biggest revenue tour in cricket.

So you are saying that the people in the WICB , with the full knowledge &
understanding , that the India Tour is the biggest revenue Tour in Cricket , decided to hastily pull the Plug on the India Tour ???
This means that my stating that their action was Reckless , is absolutely correct . In essence their power & anger went to their heads , so that they lost all sense of reason .
So NONE of them ever considered the
Financial predicament they placed the
BCCI , their only Friends in ICC ????
I really cannot believe that these
are serious persons who are supposed to possess Business Acumen ; would do something so grossly Stupid . .
