West Indies settle payment disputes

August 8, 2006

The West Indies Players Association (WIPA) and the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) have reached an agreement on player match fees for the upcoming tri-series in Singapore and Malaysia. The agreement ends the dispute between the two parties, which had earlier threatened West Indies' participation in the tournament.

The WIPA has agreed on a minimum fee of US$30,000 for the junior players and US$75,000 as the upper figure for senior players. Last week, the WIPA had demanded fees ranging from US$40,000 to $US95,000 per player, representing 40% of the net revenue which the WICB was to receive and almost double the premium on normal match fees, which the board considered "unacceptable".

The WICB then selected a squad of 14 players and issued tour contracts directly to the players, without consulting the WIPA. The players association were critical of the board,calling the board's action "premature" and accusing them of trying to "divide and rule".

Brian Lara, the West Indies captain, urged both parties to settle their differences, stating that he was looking forward to leading a full strength squad for the tri-series. The parties reached a compromise on Sunday, at the best interests of the game.
