India could scrap its tour of the West Indies in 2016 after the Caribbean team's abrupt pullout on Friday, said an angry Indian cricket board (BCCI) which is also considering legal action and seekingthe intervention of the game's world governing body.
The tourists abandoned the series with another one-dayer, a Twenty20 international and three Test matches left to play over a protracted payment dispute between the players and their board.
The West Indies Cricket Board said it had been left with no choice but to abandon the tour of India, an action that angered the world's richest cricket body, which swiftly roped in Sri Lanka as a replacement to play a five-match ODI series next month.
