West Indies cricketers will not be "coerced" into touring England if they are reluctant to do so during the coronavirus crisis, according to West Indies chief executive Johnny Grave.
The Caribbean side are due to travel to play a three-Test series, which has been postponed until July at the earliest.
Grave said a "wide pool" of players had been consulted and none of them would be obliged to tour.
"There will be no coercing players into this tour," Grave told BBC Radio.
"If you grow up in a country where the population might only be 60,000 or 70,000 people, to be thinking the UK has had over 30,000 deaths is a massive figure."
