The Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) has decided to end the ongoing dispute with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), and agreed to tour the Caribbean for a Test series.

Team India will play a four-match Test series against West Indies in the Caribbean islands in July-August next year. A press release issued by the WICB confirmed the series.

“WICB president, Dave Cameron today confirmed that following discussions with BCCI president Shashank Manohar, that the West Indies will host India in the Caribbean in 2016,” the press release stated.

“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. Cricket remained the centrepiece of our discussion and we are happy to be at this juncture.”

Last year, West Indies players abruptly left their tour to India owing to pay dispute with the WICB. The BCCI then persuaded the claim of $42 million in compensation from the WICB.
