This made latest national news in India as BCCI ignored ICC. 25 April
was the last day to declare the team list to ICC for the upcoming
Champions Trophy. While all other seven countries have already declared
their list, India has skipped the deadline and haven’t sent any list to
the ICC.
On Tuesday, Pakistan and India were the two teams to
come up with the list of playing squad. While Pakistan did the same,
India didn’t show up to the World’s Cricket Body, ICC.
India
& ICC have never been in good terms and something has always been an
issue of debate between the two. This time it is the decision of ICC to
dissolve the Big Three nations deal and thus cut the share of global
revenue of India. To this India already have shown their concerns and
threatened ICC to quit the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. The Champions
Trophy is scheduled from 1-18 May in the United Kingdom. India is the
part of Defending Champions.
Though, BCCI is not mulling on
stepping out right away, but, it is being considered as a contemplated
pressure move by the Indian board. Even, until late evening there was no
extension sought from the International board which clearly indicates
the defiance in the Indian Board.
However, some insiders quote
that naming the list of the playing squad is nothing more than a
formality because the selectors are already aware of whom to choose.
"Tell
me one thing, if we name the squad, say for example on May 5, will ICC
bar us from participation. We have a settled squad and naming it is a
mere formality," a top BCCI official told PTI.
Indian Cricket Team members are playing in IPL right now and presenting a marvelous
show. It is now to see how the equation between ICC & BCC goes
further.
