PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC):

The West Indies Cricket Board has taken a tough stance on player discipline for the upcoming tour of England.

Bruce Aanensen, the West Indies Cricket Board chief executive, said the players wouldbe issued documents before their departure from the Caribbean, fully apprising them of behavioural standards.

He said the board had already met with newly elected captain Ramnaresh Sarwan and the tour management to outline the requirements.

"We had this meeting with Sarwan and the selectors and with the management of the team and we made it abundantly clear," Aanensen said yesterday.

"A document will be given on Monday to each of the players outlining all the terms of reference relative to discipline and the consequences of breaching any of these disciplinary matters so that they would be very clear when they leave to go to England what is expected of them.

"I fully expect the management team to enforce these terms of reference and hopefully we wouldn't have any untoward situations developing."
