BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, (CMC) – The region’s premier domestic Twenty20 tournament, the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), will face some disruption due to a revised itinerary for the India tour.
India had been scheduled to tour the Caribbean in July and August for a full series of Tests, One-Day Internationals and T20s but Cricket West Indies president, Dave Cameron, said the Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) had asked for the tour to begin in August instead.
CPL recently announced last month it had reached an agreement with CWI for the tournament to be played in the window from August 21 and September 27.
“Yes it (India tour) will clash with CPL and we hope our loyal fans will understand and appreciate, and our players will also understand,” Cameron said.
“We can’t give up an India tour, you simply can’t give up a match in India. It’s way more than the money we can get from the CPL.”
He explained: “The dates we had originally proposed would have see them starting a few days after the World Cup – the finals of the World Cup. They (India) have asked to push that back on the basis that they’ll be in the finals and potentially win so that is really the biggest hurdle that we’re having.”

So a potential win for India was not taken into account when preparing the schedule b4? The current England series clash with the Regional 4-day competition or down heap cricket nuh count?

Of course allyuh will fall for this OKEDOKE BULLCRAP
.I will tell you this. CWI like most West Indians do not plan things in a timely fashion.If they had done this, then we would not be in this mess.The Itinerary with India should have been done and dusted 12 months before the competition.That is how the English for example operate.That allows people in England to plan their vacation well ahead of time.If we had settled the Indian tour fixtures last August,then we could plan our CPL and then we would not have this problem.I plan events for my organization a full year before and they run smoothly.These guys are incompetent and we do not care.

No. Does it earn revenue?
Plus it is good to have the backups playing cricket during a tour. No?

HOLA...we may not like it and put the blame at the feet of CWI....bottom line India owns CWI ..period..that $40 million fiasco is not over...even though we think it is..
Secondly CPL is franchise nonsense....comical and circus...most franchises bleeding all sorts of colored ink...but mostly..RED.
As I always say CWI and its admins are in control and yet not in control...when that elephant enters the room you better run ...or you will be spaded out..
Thats just the way it is..INDIA...calls the shots.

Stop bitching, it's Hurricane season anyway, and with global warming, look for the entire tour to be rain affected.

they'll be in the finals and win, so that's their excuse and Dave bending over backward. Dave just like how Trump be with Putin. My gosh
So they dictating how CWI should run things. I guess as CB says about the $40 mill fiasco ain't done with and you got to pay the Piper, and Dave is the cause behind it so he got to go with what the BCCI says.
I guess now we'll see where the loyalties of some players lies again. But CPL is small money for dem so

Well Cameron might be out of office before then, but there is simply too much cricket being played in a short time period, I do not know how the fans could support it monetarily. The players also could become fatigue mentally and physically.

CPL should take preference over the insignificant India tour.
CPL is what the people dem pay to see!

Isn't the CPL a private independent entity, seems CWI can make decisions for them?

BCCI controls Big Ediot Dave.
And at the same time others dishing dirt on the Big IDIOT for abandoning that ill-fated Indian tour thereby causing the BCCI to lose tons of money.

You think if leaders like Burnham and a few others from that era were around Cameron would be able to run rough shod over WI cricket the way he has?

Does that mean, initially they did not consider India / WI reaching the finals of the WC and just felt there is a chance that they might be in the finals... How cool

this is good nonesense on the part of CWI. Tell them to send their second string team if the first string is too busy winning the World Cup. This plus the fiascos of Holder's suspension and Gabriel's alleged breach of playing rules, both of which could easily have been challenged with a reasonable prospect of success, just show that CWI is just pandering to the big Four in cricket and has no backbone. I fear the next step will be that our players are getting too uppity in beating the big name teams and will have to be pulled back into their rightful place at the bottom of the table.

the date on the England tour was set essentially Sept 2018 , which is 5 months before ENG toured.

CWI announcing this now would mean also about 5 months before the India tour.

MAAN, I would love to cross-examine Cameron on this and tie his azz up.They get away with all this Bullcrap because they have zero accountability.They gave dates for the CPL BEFORE they had finalized the schedule with INDIA.RETARDS. INC.

Do you think it was wise to finalize dates for CPL BEFORE you have finalized dates for the INDIAN tour?
I suggest that only people with double digit IQ's would think that is a sensible thing to do.

Maybe the dates for the India tour WERE agreed and the BCCI is NOW trying to change them....you think that could be a possibility, learned counsel?

Forget about India making the WC. Looks like Davey-boy thinks the WI chances of making the WC finals are slim and none
Great leadership dat ...

I suppose if they signed a contract and India break it.Scrub that, we broke a contract and they threatened to sue us but did not.What was it that happened then with Bravo again?Did the CWI go back on a deal with the players.Was that before Dave's time? Surely it was not him doing these kinds of deeds.
Seriously if the contract was not signed and all you have is an "understanding" with those treacherous people, then why commit to CPL dates before you have everything finalized.Maybe because my life experiences tell me that the world is full of dishonorable people so I have my stuff in writing early.
Anyway they screwed up if they allow India to change dates willy-nilly but then again, same knife stick sheep stick goat.So does this mean that CPL dates still not finalized?

The west indies test players might not be a main draw for the CPL but some of them will probably want to play.
Shai Hope did well in the last CPL.
Bravo and Hetmyer both played with passion for their respective CPL teams.
Holder captained the Barbados franchise.
I don't think any of these four are pleased about the clash.
