The WICB is facing potential legal action from its main sponsor, Digicel, and the organisers of the super series, Stanford Twenty20.
The Stanford Super Series was the result of a five-year agreement between Stanford Twenty20, the England and Wales Cricket Board and the WICB.

The first of five annual events comprises six Twenty20 matches being played at the Stanford Cricket Ground from October 25 and culminates with the historic Stanford Twenty20 match for US$20 million.

Teams participating in the Stanford Super Series are the Stanford Superstars, a team selected from the best of the regional Stanford Twenty20 competitions; England, the ECB selected national team; Trinidad and Tobago, the reigning regional Stanford Twenty20 Cup champions; and Middlesex, the reigning English County Twenty20 champions.

The series features four main warm-up matches, including a contest between the domestic champions with a total purse of US$400,000, and the Stanford Twenty20 match for US$20 million that represents the richest team prize for a single sporting match.

Each player on the winning side in the match between the Superstars and England pockets US$1 million with the same amount to be shared between the 12th man and other non-playing members of the squad and the same sum split among the management team.

The remaining US$7 million was to be shared between the ECB and the WICB, but it appears the WICB will now lose its share.
