The West Indian cricket team pulled out of the tour to India after ODI at Dharamsala over a contract dispute with the West Indies Cricket Board and West Indies Players Association.
Just before the ODI, the entire West Indian team had gathered behind captain Dwayne Bravo to show their unity over the issue at the toss. Speaking at the toss, Bravo had said that the team was playing only because they didn’t want to make the game of cricket and its fans suffer. With the Caribbean nation forfeiting the 5th ODI, India won the series 3-1.
The 5th ODI was scheduled to be held at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata. The ODI series was to be followed a T20I at Cuttack, with three Tests at Hyderabad, Bangalore and Ahmedabad.
The pay dispute between the West Indian players and the board has been going on for some time, with Bravo having written a letter threatening to pull out of the tour before the first ODI at Kochi but after winning the match, Windies players continued to play three more ODIs.
