MUMBAI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday approved the Indian cricket team’s tour to West Indies.
According to ESPNCricinfo.com, Although the BCCI has not commented on the matter, WICB president Dave Cameron informed via a media release that the BCCI president Shashank Manohar had confirmed India would tour the Caribbean in 2016.
It is understood that both men spoke over the phone earlier this week to reach an understanding. Manohar pointed out to Cameron that the WICB needed to give a firm commitment to the BCCI that last year’s incomplete tour would be played in India.
According to the ICC’s bilateral tours programme, India are scheduled to tour the West Indies for a four-Test series between July and August.
“West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) President, Dave Cameron, today (December 23) confirmed that following discussions with BCCI President, Shashank Manohar, the West Indies will host India in the Caribbean in 2016,” the media statement said.
“This agreement is subject to the WICB and the Players Association giving a joint commitment to complete, at a later date, the tour which prematurely ended in October 2014.”
