The West Indies Cricket Board cannot pay match fees to players. Their claim is that the West Indies tour of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in 2016 is a huge responsibility in this financial crisis.
Due to lack of money, CWI has been unable to pay match fees to any international or national player so far this year. Coronavirus players owe money for two months before the game stops. The West Indies Cricket Board is already experiencing a financial crisis. The coronavirus has only made it worse.
Players from the country’s men’s team did not receive a tour fee for Ireland and Sri Lanka. The women’s team did not receive the match fee for the T20 World Cup. However, domestic cricketers have suffered more. He made no money playing in the four-day West Indies First Class match. However, the 10-round tournament was canceled after eight rounds. Barbados has been declared champion and received the Headley-Weeks trophy from the tournament.
The board has two types of contracts with national cricket players in the West Indies. In one, 90 hired players receive a monthly salary. In the other, hired players only get money if they play a match. Players on both contracts receive a fee of US $ 1,800 (around Rs 1 lakh 36,000) per match.
Wayne Lewis, secretary of the West Indies Players Association, said the contractors had received a monthly salary but had not yet received a match fee. CWI CEO Johnny Grave said they will pay players even if it is a little late. “Cricket West Indies is having a difficult time financially,” he said. Salaries and allowances have also been paid for all contracted players, cash prizes and match fees for some players. However, many players still owe a large amount. We are doing our best to pay for it.
Grave said the West Indies board was in a financial crisis in 2016 when it welcomed Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. In those two series, we got less than ১০ 1 million of what we were supposed to get from the broadcast rights agreement. ‘
However, Grave said the West Indies cricket did not file for bankruptcy after the West India tour of England and India in 2019. “The loss was offset by England and India in 2019.” Records of those two series have been obtained. I paid the 2018 and 2019 installments with that money. ‘
