India's cricket board (BCCI) have written to their West Indies counterparts (WICB) demanding damages, after the team from the Caribbean abandoned a tour of India last month.
A spokesman for the WICB confirmed that they had received a letter from the BCCI "outlining what the BCCI estimates as its losses from the premature end of the West Indies tour of India."
The spokesman said the WICB has 15 days to respond.
It has been reported that the BCCI are allegedly seeking damages of around $42m and India have already suspended all planned tours of the Caribbean.
The West Indies team returned home after the fourth of five one-day internationals and before three scheduled Tests were due to be played, because their players were unhappy with their own board over contracts and payments.
The cause of the conflict was a newly drafted 'Memorandum of Understanding' and collective agreement between the WICB and their union, the West Indies Players Association.
The players said the agreement would result in a significant loss of earnings, while the WICB argue the new arrangement allows for more cricketers across the Caribbean to be given central contracts.
