On September 19, 2014, following years of often bitter disputes, the WICB and the West Indies Players Association (WIPA) signed a new collective bargaining agreement and memorandum of understanding. The agreement, according to WIPA, was expected to bring "stability" to the system, but on the eve of West Indies' first ODI on a tour to India, one-day captain Dwayne Bravo came out strongly against WIPA president Wavell Hinds, claiming that he had "hoodwinked" the team by signing an agreement that resulted in a significant pay-cut for the players. Following an exchange of emails among the players, WIPA and the WICB, West Indies abruptly pulled out of the tour of India with one ODI, one T20 and three Tests pending. Here's a look at the matter in detail:
