The West Indies cricket team toured India in October 2014. The tour was originally scheduled to consist of three Test matches, five One Day International matches and one Twenty20 International match.{{cite news | url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/770067.html | title=West Indies' India tour to begin on October 8 | date=14 August 2014 | publisher=ESPNcricinfo | access-date=14 June 2017 }} The ODI series was reduced from five matches to four, after the third match was cancelled due to Cyclone Hudhud.{{cite web |title=3rd Match was abandoned |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-west-indies-2014-15/content/story/788815.html |publisher=ESPNcricinfo (ESPN Sports Media) |date=12 October 2014 |access-date=12 October 2014 }}

On the day of the commencement of the series, the West Indies players threatened not to come to the ground unless they were paid their due amount by the WICB. After BCCI intervention, the WICB promised to pay their players and the series started. On 17 October 2014, during the toss time, West Indies ODI captain Dwayne Bravo brought the entire team with him and announced that they are abandoning the rest of the tour because they didn't receive their promised payment from the WICB. Later the BCCI confirmed that the remaining fixtures of the tour after the 4th ODI game had been cancelled, due to an ongoing pay between the West Indies players, the West Indies Cricket Board and the players association.{{cite web |title=West Indies to pull out of India tour |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-west-indies-2014-15/content/current/story/789919.html |publisher=ESPNcricinfo (ESPN Sports Media) |date=17 October 2014 |access-date=17 October 2014 }}{{cite web |title=West Indies: India tour to end early over payment dispute |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/29661268 |publisher=BBC Sport |date=17 October 2014 |access-date=17 October 2014 }} A senior BCCI official confirmed the development, saying the West Indies team management had informed the board of their decision earlier in the day. Sri Lanka have agreed in principle to play five ODIs in November in India following the West Indies abandoning the matches.{{cite web |title=Sri Lanka to replace WI, to play five ODIs |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-west-indies-2014-15/content/story/789927.html |publisher=ESPNcricinfo (ESPN Sports Media) |date=17 October 2014 |access-date=17 October 2014 }} Subsequently, the BCCI announced that it would suspend all further planned tours of the West Indies until further notice, and would undertake legal action against the WICB for the premature ending of the India tour.{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/29702554 |title=India suspend tours of West Indies and start legal action |author= |date=21 October 2014 |website=BBC Sport |publisher=BBC |access-date=21 October 2014}}

In June 2016, India confirmed they would honour their tour to the West Indies, scheduled to take place the following month.{{cite web |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/story/1022583.html |title=India to tour West Indies for seven weeks starting July 6 |access-date=2 June 2016 |work=ESPN Cricinfo}}
