WIPA against 20% levy
The West Indies Players Association has said the WICB's decision to levy 20% of the contract fee on any Caribbean player playing in an overseas T20 tournament would "promote restraint of trade."
"WIPA is totally against any new market restrictions or regulations that may limit our West Indian players. The present NOC levy of the WICB promotes the restraint of trade and is open to be challenged legally."
The WICB said that West Indies was losing talented players to overseas leagues after having invested in and developed them for a long time.
"WIPA believes an imposition of a NOC levy by the WICB is not the answer to the lack of coherent global scheduling. A centrally regulated and coordinated international cricket programme for all three formats is necessary for the improvement of global cricket."
