'Must fulfil commitments to FTP' - ICC ExCo chairman
Wally Edwards, the chairman of ICC ExCo, on West Indies pulling out of the India tour:
"The situation that has just unfolded, with the West Indian players abandoning the remainder of the Indian tour, is deeply concerning for a game that needs strong cooperation for its survival," Edwards said. "We are a long way from what has taken place in India and have sought further details so we can understand more as a priority.
"Put simply, players and Boards must fulfil their commitments to the ICC Future Tours Programme.
"Situations such as these have to be avoided at all costs because ultimately those that are affected most are the people that the game depends on so heavily - cricket lovers, key broadcasters and commercial partners.
"For the game's sake this needs to be resolved as soon as possible."
