PERTH – Not only the opposition has been battering the West Indies, but the tax man has hit them hard in Australia and New Zealand as well.
It is understood that on the morning of their match against South Africa last week, members of the entire squad received their pay slip in Sydney with the news that 32.5 per cent of their earnings made from the cricket World Cup would be deducted in taxes to the Australian government.
Normally the West Indies cricketers are exempted from paying taxes but under Australian laws, they have to pay for the duration of the World Cup.
