'The players are fed up with things going nowhere. They are prepared to sit out and see what happens,' Adams was quoted as saying in Cricinfo.

Meanwhile, WICB president Julian Hunte has vowed to resolve the problem.

'This is damaging to West Indies cricket and these problems before tours and during tours must be eliminated,' he said.

Talks have failed between the board and WIPA, which refused to give in to WICB's demands to end the strike before discussions.

'Before a series starts, there will be a flurry of activity, and then they (WIPA) will want to meet to negotiate,' Hunte said.

'We are going to put a stop to this. This is damaging to West Indies cricket and these problems before tours and during tours must be eliminated,' he said.
