So miffed are the BCCI officials with the attitude of the Caribbean players that some harsh actions can't be ruled out as far as their playing in IPL is concerned.
"The matter is likely be raised at IPL governing council meeting where the issue will come up for serious discussions. Some of the members of board's top brass want to ban the Windies players for atleast one season," a senior BCCI functionary told PTI today.
"What BCCI officials are finding it difficult to digest is that even after their assurances to Sanjay Patel, who went to Kochi to persuade them, things have come to such a pass. How could they backtrack on their promise? This is a matter of principles. If they can give commercial considerations priority then why won't they be penalised for their uncompromising attitude," the senior official said.
Dwayne Bravo and Dwayne Smith are key players of CSK while Kieron Pollard is an influential player in MI ranks. Not to forget Sunil Narine and above everyone else Chris Gayle.
A question mark is certainly there on Caribbean players' participation in IPL-8.
