MUMBAI:
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced that,
following a meeting in Johannesburg, no agreement was reached
to end the ongoing dispute between the Board of Control for
Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Indian Cricket League (ICL).
No
further discussions are scheduled and, as a result, the ICL’s
application to be recognised by the ICC as unofficial cricket
will go back before the ICC Board at its April meeting in
Dubai.
The
meeting spanned three hours and was attended by ICC president
David Morgan and CEO Haroon Lorgat, BCCI Honorary Secretary
N.Srinivasan, Essel Group chairman Subhash Chandra and the
ICL business head Himanshu Mody.
ICC
president David Morgan said, “I am grateful to all parties
for coming together with the best of intentions and the discussions
took place in a friendly and cordial manner but, unfortunately,
we were not able to come to a successful conclusion in our
discussions.
“The
ICL’s application for approval as unofficial cricket
will now go before the ICC Board at its April meeting in Dubai.
“Given
the discussions took place without prejudice, no further comment
will be made at this time.”
