 Skipper Chris Gayle and his team say they will not face Bangladesh
|
West Indies players are to boycott the Test series against Bangladesh which is due to start on Thursday in St Vincent.
The players' union said its latest talks with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) aimed at resolving several contractual issues had failed.
The West Indies Players' Association (Wipa) said its members were no longer prepared to play without contracts.
Wipa president Dinanath Ramnarine said the players had withdrawn from the Test series "with immediate effect".
The union threatened strike action during England's tour of the Caribbean in March.
It is also in dispute with the board over payments and fees for the tour of England in May, the Twenty20 World Cup and the recent four-match ODI home series against India.
In a statement on the Wipa website, Ramnarine claimed: "We have made every effort since our meeting (with the WICB) in April to have the matters agreed upon honoured and those that were still to be agreed upon resolved in an amicable way.
"The fact remains the players have played their last four tournaments without a contract.
"They are now being asked to play their fifth consecutive series without a contract which is highly unacceptable."
A WICB spokesman said it would make a statement later on Tuesday (local time).
Bangladesh are due to play two Tests, three one-day internationals and a Twenty20 match in the Caribbean.
