| The International Cricket Council (ICC) had written
to the Indian cricket board drawing its attention to an infringement
of the ambush-marketing clause in the player contracts for the Champions
Trophy. Tata Indicom is a competitor for Hutch, one of the official
sponsors.
The Indian team manager confirmed that he had received a letter
from the BCCI in this regard.
"I have conveyed the Board's message to the players,"
he told the news agency.
The clause was a bone of contention before the last ICC Champions
Trophy in Sri Lanka and the 2003 World Cup in Africa. It prevents
players from endorsing a product which is in direct competition
to the official sponsors for the entire duration of the event.
