The seemingly ever-lasting contract dispute between the West Indies Cricket Board and West Indies Players' Association was finally resolved yesterday.
"Both parties are pleased that the agreement reached creates an environment to engage in building a genuine partnership that can ensure the long-term development and progress of West Indies cricket," the statement said.
Two issues remain unresolved, with the concerns over the 2009 India tour and team rights referred to arbitration.
West Indies' full-strength side last played a Test in England in May 2009.
There had been fears West Indies would send another second-string outfit for the three-Test contest against Australia but the hosts can now throw out their back-up plans.
