    Angry India may scrap 2016 West Indies tour

    MUMBAI, Oct 18 (Reuters) - India may scrap their tour of West Indies in 2016 after the Caribbean team's abrupt pullout on Friday, said an angry Indian cricket board (BCCI) which is also considering legal actions and seeking intervention of the game's world governing body.

    The tourists abandoned the series with another one-dayer, a Twenty20 international and three test matches left to play over a protracted payment dispute between the players and their board.

    The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) said it had been left with no choice but to abandon the tour of India, an action that angered the world's richest cricket body, who swiftly roped in Sri Lanka as replacements to play a five-match ODI series next month.

    "It will be very difficult to play West Indies in bilateral series in future. They have to demonstrate the willingness that such situations never happen again," BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel told Reuters on Saturday.

    "I would say that India's next tour of West Indies is highly unlikely to go ahead in the current situation."

    The Indian cricket team is scheduled to tour the Caribbean for three tests, five ODIs and a Twenty20 match early in 2016.

    "Whatever the dispute, they should have honoured the bilateral agreement," Patel said.

    "We thank our friends Sri Lanka who agreed to the tour on a short notice but unfortunately we couldn't fit in the tests as there was not enough time."

    The BCCI was considering legal actions against WICB and has called an emergent working committee meeting on Tuesday to discuss the issue, Patel said.

    "We have suffered huge losses and the ICC is our parent body and we are going to ask them to ensure that this never happens in the future," Patel added.

    The ICC is headed by Indian industrialist N. Srinivasan, often described as the most powerful man in the sport.

    Confusion reigned on Friday as the WICB issued a statement denying it had withdrawn the team after the BCCI announced that the visitors would fly home after Friday's one-dayer in Dharamsala.

    The West Indies board later apologised to its Indian counterpart as well as sponsors, broadcasters and fans in a statement. It said it had offered to provide a replacement team but India had declined that offer.

    The WICB said it had spoken to team management and been informed that "the players have taken a decision to withdraw their services for the remainder of the tour of India."

    The WICB and West Indies Players' Association signed a new agreement last month covering pay and conditions but it was rejected by the senior players, including one-day captain Dwayne Bravo who said they were kept in the dark.

    The players subsequently issued a strike threat but eventually took to the field and were playing the match when the BCCI announced an abrupt end to the tour.

    The WICB is to hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday to "conduct a thorough assessment of all the ramifications of the premature end to the tour" and decide what action if any should be taken. (Additional reporting by Peter Rutherford in Seoul; Editing by Gene Cherry/Amlan Chakraborty)

    BCCI's damages bill to West Indies may touch $65m


    The BCCI is likely to claim damages of at least Rs 400 crore (US$65 million approx) from the WICB for West Indies having pulled out of the tour to India. The BCCI's working committee will decide whether to go ahead with the claim at a meeting on October 21 in Hyderabad.

    West Indies had agreed to play five ODIs, a Twenty20 and three Tests in India, but pulled out after the fourth ODI, in Dharamsala, due to the players being displeased over a revision to their payment structure. This meant that the BCCI lost out on revenue for 17 match-days. Though Sri Lanka agreed to fill in for West Indies and play five ODIs in India in November, the BCCI will still lose income for 12 match-days for the 2014-15 season. The BCCI is likely to claim those damages from the WICB.

    "We have referred the matter to our legal cell and asked them to let us know by 21st about how we can pursue the issue legally," BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel told ESPNcricinfo, declining to elaborate on the numbers since he said they were still being computed. "They [WICB] entered into a bilateral agreement with us, and they abandoned the tour due to their internal issues, so we will have to seek compensation. But, depending on the legal advice, the working committee will decide the future course of action."

    For the 2013-14 season, revenue for each match-day of India's home series against West Indies was believed to be approximately Rs 33 crore. BCCI insiders revealed that the 2014-15 season's estimation was "around the same as last year". This would mean that the West Indies' pullout will result in BCCI losing at least Rs 396 crore.

    According the agreements signed between Full Members for bilateral series, each board keeps the revenue generated for their home series and incur logistics costs from the time the visiting team arrives in the country till they board a return flight.

    The BCCI's revenue is primarily generated through broadcast sponsorship, series-title sponsorship, team-title sponsorship, apparel sponsorship, minor share of advertising from host broadcaster, gate receipts and in-stadia advertising. Since the broadcast and series-title sponsorships deals are on a per match basis, irrespective of whether it's a T20, Test or ODI, that income is unlikely to be affected since the five cancelled matches against West Indies (three Tests, an ODI and a Twenty20) will be replaced by five ODIs against Sri Lanka. The apparel sponsorship deal is for a fixed amount, irrespective on the number of matches at home.

    However, since the broadcaster's revenue through advertising is going to be affected with the loss of 12 match-days, including a full Test series, that will have an impact on the BCCI's coffers as the board gets a minor share of advertising revenue from the host broadcaster. Also, it is likely that Star India, the host broadcaster, may ask for a reduction in broadcast fees which they have been paying to the board. At the moment, Star India pays the BCCI Rs 43.20 crore per match.

    The decrease in broadcast revenues will also impact the state associations since the BCCI distributes 70% of it equally amongst the 27 members who participate in the Ranji Trophy. Besides, if any of the five state associations that were allotted one of the cancelled games against West Indies don't get a game against Sri Lanka, they will also lose out on substantial income. The host associations get to keep income generated through ticket sales and in-stadia advertising.

    SL to host next Test series against India - Ranatunga


    Sri Lanka, who were supposed to tour India for three Tests in August 2015, will now host the series, according to SLC secretary Nishantha Ranatunga. The decision has come in the wake of Sri Lanka agreeing to plug the gap in India's home calendar after West Indies' pullout.

    "As we are obliging India with a five-match ODI series there next month, India are obliged to return the tour next year and we have switched the Test series," Ranatunga said.

    The BCCI, however, is yet to confirm the swap. It is understood that the BCCI has held preliminary discussions with SLC in this regard. The proposal of switching the venue for the 2015 Test series will be put before the working committee for consideration, which will "finalise" the arrangement, according to a senior BCCI functionary.

    By hosting the three-Test series with India, SLC stands to make around $ 7-8 million, according to Ranatunga. There will be no ODIs or T20Is included in the itinerary.

    India haven't hosted Sri Lanka for Tests
    since 2009, and the last time Sri Lanka hosted India for Tests was in 2010, the series that marked the retirement of Muttiah Muralitharan.

    The next available slot for a Test series between the two teams, as per the new FTP, is in August 2017 when India visit Sri Lanka for three Tests, five ODIs and one T20.

    The last time India and Sri Lanka played a Test was in 2010

    The five ODIs will be played in India between November 1 and 20. Secretary Sri Lanka cricket Nishantha Ranatunga speaking to the Sunday Times explained “Learning that the West Indian tour of India was in jeopardy when I was in Dubai for the ACC and ICC meetings I mentioned to the Indian authorities that if the current series which is going on in India is cancelled by chance we would be grateful to fill in the vacuum. Subsequently when the West Indian tour of India was cancelled we received a note from India with reference to our earlier request, inviting us to take part in a series there.”

    Apart from the short notice of the Indian tour windfall, Sri Lanka will benefit further with an Indian tour to Sri Lanka next year. Originally Sri Lanka were to tour India in August 2015 for a three Test series according to the amended Future Tours Programme.
    “To reciprocate our gesture, India has agreed to shift that series to Sri Lanka so that the Lankan Board could get some financial benefit. If not India was to tour Sri Lanka only in 2017 July for a three Test, five ODI tour.”

    President to investigate Nishantha's decision

    The President has requested a group of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) Executive Committee members to conduct an investigation into the SLC Secretary, Nishantha Ranatunga, suddenly agreeing to play an ODI tournament with India when the Sri Lakan cricket team was practicing according to a practice schedule set up targeting the future tournaments and the World Cup, reports say.
    It is reported that a copy of the request has been sent to ICC as well.
    Through the particular letter the SLC Executive Committee members are to point out that it is also suspected that Nishantha has made such a sudden decision without informing anyone due to a risk of reveling information on a deal made with the son-in-law of BCCI president N Srinivasan ,Gurunath Meiyappan, , who has been alleged of involving in match fixing.
    The former skipper of Sri Lanka cricket team Kumar Sangakkara expressing his views on the sudden Indian tour has tweeted "Our 6 weeks of pure fitness work ends abruptly. Have a week to do a months requirement of skills work before India."
