The West Indies Cricket Board was still awaiting an official communication from the ICC or BCCI on Marlon Samuels ' alleged links with an Indian bookie in Nagpur.

The West Indies Cricket Board Acting Chief (Cricket Operations), Tony Howard, said they could not do anything until it got official word from either the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) or the ICC in the matter.

"We have not been contacted by either the BCCI or the ICC on the matter. Nothing can happen until we get something official," Howard was quoted as saying in 'Jamaica Gleaner' in Port-Of-Spain.

Samuels finds himself at the centre of a major controversy following the sensational disclosure by Nagpur police of a taped conversation between the West Indian all-rounder and an alleged bookie Mukesh Kochar.

The Nagpur police disclosed that Samuels leaked team composition to the bookie, stunning the cricketing world and raising fears of a fresh match-fixing scandal seven years after the infamous Hansie Cronje episode.
