BCCI waives $42m penalty on WICB - chairman - 04-21-2016
BCCI president Shashank Manohar has said that the $41.97 million claim imposed by the previous BCCI administration on the WICB for abandoning the 2014 tour to India mid-way has been waived. West Indies, he said, will tour India in 2017 to complete the "unfinished" matches from the 2014 series.
According to Manohar, the issue was "sorted out" when the WICB agreed to tour India to play the pending games. The decision was taken, he said, when the BCCI's top officials spoke with the WICB late last year, before clearing India's tour to the West Indies scheduled for this summer. This is the first time the BCCI has clarified its position on the matter.
"That is now sorted out because they are going to come back and play here next year," Manohar told ESPNcricinfo. "They have to complete those [unfinished] games. That was a claim raised by the board. [We] would be satisfied by them coming and playing here."

If it wasn't waived though, would the WICB even have been able to pay that amount of money anyway? I'm sure the BCCI don't want them to go bankrupt as then they'd never get there money anyway so this seems like a fair enough outcome to me
