The BCCI refuse to back down in their attempts to seek damages from the West Indies following the abandonment of their recent tour.

The Board of Control for Cricket India have revealed that they are seeking damages from the West Indies after they cancelled their recent tour midway through.

Due to a reported pay dispute between players and the West Indies Cricket Board, their recent tour of India was scrapped with five matches left to play.

Earlier this week, it was revealed that the BCCI will seek compensation worth £26.2m following the "abrupt disruption".

Despite the WICB facing an uncertain future because of their financial troubles, BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel has insisted that his organisation will not back down.

"It is a matter of consideration for the WICB to decide as to how they will cover our damages," Patel told The AP. "[Abandoning the tour] is a unilateral decision of the WICB and they are solely responsible for this entire episode.

"There has been a direct and disastrous impact [to India]. Other than the financial losses, the collateral damage that has been caused to the BCCI and its stakeholders is irreparable.

"BCCI has always believed that all the fellow members of the cricketing fraternity are interdependent to grow this glorious game and West Indies in particular has been an integral part of our fabric. Having said that, we also have to look at the present situation and the losses that the BCCI and all our partners, especially our ardent fans, have had to suffer due to this abrupt disruption."

India arranged a series with Sri Lanka once the West Indies withdrew.
