The Committee of Administrators (CoA) has said to ICC that BCCI will not be bound by the decisions which was taken during the Board meeting of the world governing body in Dubai since Amitabh Choudhary was not India’s authorised representative there. Choudhary was barred by the CoA from attending the meeting of ICC but he participated in the invitation of the global body led by Shashank Manohar. However, the proposal of having an ODI World Cup after every three years has been rejected by the members.

“The COA doesn’t recognise the participation of Amitabh Choudhary as a representative of the BCCI to the ICC. Accordingly, no decisions or commitments (if any) undertaken by him, on behalf of BCCI, will be binding on the BCCI,” CoA wrote to ICC Chief Executive Manu Sawhney. “Likewise, any decision that the ICC may claim to have taken during the meeting will neither bind the BCCI nor will it recognise the same.”

“ICC cannot claim or otherwise have any say or role whatsoever in the rights of BCCI to duly nominate its representative. Please note that ICC’s action amounts to an illegal and uncalled for intrusion in the internal affairs of a member nation,” it further stated.

“As our president-elect Sourav Ganguly has already made it clear that BCCI will rightfully claim what it deserves. It hardly makes any difference to what CoA does. In any case, the BCCI wouldn’t have been a party to any such policy decision by the ICC, where Manohar’s only aim is to hit the BCCI revenues,” a senior BCCI official said to PTI.
