Play in the 11th round of matches in the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) Regional four-day competition will begin tomorrow after cricketers boycotted today’s opening day.
Regional cricketers boycotted the opening day because of several issues with the WICB.
However, the WICB has proposed that matches will commence tomorrow and will be played over three days instead of four.
On Thursday, West Indies Players Association (WIPA), president Dinanath Ramnarine quit as a director of the WICB claiming his position had become untenable because of the WICB’s lack of movement on several key players issues.
President of the Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA), Paul Campbell, said the local players told him about the industrial action this morning.
Campbell further said the players took industrial action in solidarity with Ramnarine and WIPA’s position.
Matches affected are Trinidad and Tobago against the Windward Islands at Arnos Vale in St Vincent, Barbados facing the Leeward Islands at North Stars in Barbados, and Jamaica at home to Combined Campuses & Colleges at Sabina Park.
