Mumbai: The Board of Control for Cricket in India, the future head of the BCCI and India's great batsman Sunil Gavaskar, may soon get a big honour. Indian Cricketers Association (ICA) President Ashok Malhotra has expressed a desire to make these two former players a part of the ICA. A source has confirmed that Malhotra wants to grant not only honorary membership of ICA to Sourav Ganguly and Sunil Gavaskar but also to work on the pension of former players.

Regarding the membership of Ganguly and Gavaskar, Malhotra said that we will invite both Sunil Gavaskar and Sourav Ganguly to be part of the ICA. How can you be a Cricketers' Association without sports giants? Now that Ganguly is the next BCCI President, we want him to be present. But yes, we would like to assign him an honorary membership to avoid the issue of conflict of interest. The ICA has around 1500 members.
Malhotra was elected unopposed, but Anshuman Gaekwad defeated Kirti Azad and Rakesh Dhurve to be elected as the male ICA representative on the BCCI's Supreme Council. Let us tell that Sourav Ganguly will officially become the Chairman of the Board at the annual general meeting of BCCI on 23rd.
