West Indies have boycotted the upcoming series against Bangladesh because of an outstanding contractual dispute with the home board, according to the West Indies Players' Association (WIPA).

...

"The players have played their last four tournaments without a contract," Ramnarine said in a statement. "They are now being asked to play their fifth consecutive series without a contract which is highly unacceptable."

...

Emerging reports from the Caribbean say that a second-string West Indian squad has landed in St Vincent, where the first Test is scheduled to start tomorrow.
