Many aggrieved BCA members are also unhappy about the decision taken not to have spectators attend the matches.
It was also confirmed today by the BCA in a press release that no spectators will be allowed into Kensington Oval for the three One-Day International matches starting Tuesday, July 20.
“It says that there is a disconnect between Cricket West Indies and the Barbados Cricket Association, there is a disconnect. It is insulting. You can not come into a place and step over the local (governing body).

Former eight-time national champion Junior Greenidge wanted to be the man to revive boxing in Barbados but has now had a change of heart after failing in his bid to become the president of the Barbados Boxing Association (BBA).
Greenidge tallied 24 votes, ten short of his main rival and newly elected president Melissa Branford- Jones, when elections were held both virtually and face to face last Sunday at the Garfield Sobers Sports Complex.
While venting his disappointment at the final results, Greenidge who has had a memorable career for Barbados at the local, regional and international level, said he wanted nothing more to do with boxing.
