Gonsalves seeking money to foot WICB bill

KINGSTOWN, St.Vincent (CMC): St Vincent and the Grenadines Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves says he has been rallying support to help the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) settle a US$42-million bill with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).

The Vincentian leader made his disclosure in Kingstown on Monday after WICB president Dave Cameron appealed for assistance from Caricom countries to satisfy the claim.

The BCCI suspended bilateral tours to the Caribbean and initiated the multi-million dollar claim for damages after the one-day team quit the tour of India last month over a contracts row with their union, the West Indies Players' Association (WIPA).
