With the fifth edition of the Indian Premier League coming up, New Zealand batsman Brendon McCullum is still out of pocket from last year.
McCullum's ill-fated franchise, Kochi Tuskers Kerala, were booted out of the IPL after their first season.
Kochi's deal was terminated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India last September for breaching the terms of its agreement.
At the time, IPL chairman Rajeev Shukla said the BCCI would protect the players' rights, stating that any shortfall towards the players would be compensated by the board.
McCullum and other leading international players at Kochi, such as Sri Lankans Mahela Jayawardene and Muttiah Muralitharan and Australian allrounder Steve Smith, were advised to file individual court cases against the owners.
