The WICB was forced to field a weakened squad which resulted in Bangladesh sweeping both the Test and One-day series.

The top players will also miss the Champions Trophy later this month in South Africa.

Part of the problem has also stemmed from the creation of the West Indies Players' Management Company (WIPMC), which now controls the image and intellectual property rights of many leading West Indies players.

'WIPA is demanding that this company is now introduced into our negotiations,' Cameron pointed out, adding: 'We do not know anything about this company. We do not know what is their intention. So, before we can work with any company all of this has to be cleared up.

'At every juncture, we have said 'Sign the contracts, let's proceed to the next step, get whatever issues they are arbitrated or mediated upon and if you are entitled to more, we will make this available to you'.

'We still view them as our players and we want the players association, but we want to be able to sit down and negotiate terms and we do not want to do it with 99 or 100 players across the Caribbean,' Cameron contended.

He indicated that the revolting West Indies players were available for selection for the Champions Trophy but were not eligible for selection.

'The squad terms for the Champions Trophy have to be signed and again we issued it to WIPA on their behalf and we have had no response,' he said.
