New Delhi;July 16, 2016: Board of Control for Cricket(BCCI) in India's tender to host a mini-IPL was robustly objected to by four boards at the International Cricket Council (ICC) in Edinburgh today.
According to the leading newspaper,”Cricket Australia, West Indies Cricket Board, England Cricket Board and Cricket South Africa opposed the idea floated by Anurag Thakur at the meeting last month.”
As the source told to the media,"If true, it's a telling sign of the reduced clout the current set of administrators (in the board) wield, unlike their predecessors. It's also a personal embarrassment for the men running the BCCI right now,"
The report further claimed that, “Thakur and Shashank Manohar are no longer on the same page and the latter even refused to discuss about the overseas IPL during the ICC meeting”.
This is the first time in long as that BCCI's attitude has been opposed by other cricket boards.
Let’s see how the Anurag Thakur and co address this matter going away forward.
