BRIDGETOWN, (CMC)

Regional cricketers boycotted what was to have been the opening day of the 11th round of matches in the WICB Regional Four-day tournament yesterday because of a conflict with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB).

On Thursday, West In-dies Players Association (WIPA) president Dinanath Ramnarine quit as a director of the WICB, claiming his position had become untenable because of the WICB's, lack of movement on several key players' issues.

In solidarity with Ramnar-ine and WIPA's position, players involved in matches in Barbados, St Vincent, and Jamaica did not arrive for those fixtures.

But CMC understands from senior officials of two territorial boards that the WICB has proposed that matches will commence on Saturday and be of three days' duration.
