St. John's: Legendary West Indies captain Viv Richards believes the poor run of results in the current series against Pakistan could be a sign that tensions between players and the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) may be reaching breaking point.

The 64-year-old said the West Indies players appeared out of sorts and this may be stemming from a strained relationship with the current administration, reports CMC.

"Everyone seems to be of the belief that the administration in some way has become totally dictatorial, and is not a process that I believe some of the individuals feel totally comfortable playing under," Richards told Observer Radio's sports show on Thursday.

"I don't know whether this can go on for much longer, but it was just sad, to a degree, to see some of the guys who were not quite in it."

The West Indies are yet to win on the tour taking place in the United Arab Emirates, and have lost all eight games against Pakistan across all three formats - three each in ODIs and T20s and two Tests.
