Cricket West Indies announces 25% pay cut for players as tournaments suspended

Cricket West Indies has announced a 25% pay cut for players as part of financial restructuring. The board has suspended the upcoming Super50 and Women's T20 Blaze tournaments.

The pay reduction applies across the player pool. CWI has not announced when the competitions will resume. The financial measures follow a period of reduced revenue from bilateral series and limited sponsorship support.

The restructuring comes ahead of West Indies' three-match ODI series against India that begins on 27 September in Thiruvananthapuram. Most of India's first-choice players remain unavailable due to Asian Games duty in Japan.
