Hyderabad: Cracking the whip, a livid BCCI today suspended all bilateral cricket tours with West Indies and decided to initiate legal proceedings against the WICB for abruptly cancelling its tour of India last week.

The tough stand by the BCCI, which has incurred heavy losses for the abandonment of the series, was taken by the all-powerful Working Committee which met here to decide the future course of action. The decision to suspend all cricket tours with West Indies and initiate legal action was taken "unanimously" by the Working Committee members.
