After the players walked out of Indiat tour, the West Indies board owes its Indian equivalent about US40m. It is trying to “pay back†the money with promises of future fixtures. The board is in effect insolvent. Players’ salaries have been slashed. There is a huge question mark over whether cricket in the West Indies is a going concern. Could it happen that West Indies cricket might soon be closed for business?
"By the hooks or the crooks" the WICB has to be turned to dust and a new structure built on a strong foundation. If not, West Indian cricket will become nothing but a story parents tell to their kids. Of course there may be the T20 tournaments played by Guyana, Trinidad, Jamaica, etc. But that would be it.
