Impasse between WI players and board continue

Talks to end the current impasse surrounding player contracts failed yesterday after the West Indies Players’ Association, WIPA, refused a call by the West Indies Cricket Board, WICB, to end its members’ boycott.



Representatives of the two parties met in Port of Spain, but the meeting lasted only 23 minutes.



A release issued by the WICB following the meeting said the board told WIPA that before any good faith negotiations commenced; the players’ strike would first have to end.



WIPA refused and the meeting was called off.
