The growing lust for power and wealth of the big boards has become a threat to world cricket:
The flames of interest in the ICC began to ignite, while the growing lust for power and wealth of the big boards became a threat to world cricket. Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ehsan Mani had said in a recent interview that the new ICC chairman should not be from the Big 3 countries. He was referring to India, England and Australia. The Indian Cricket Board, which is considered a contractor, was outraged, warning that if the current uncertainty persists, the world cricket administration could split.
It should be noted that 2 months have passed since Shashank Manohar's resignation but the council has not yet worked out the procedure for the election of a new chairman. There is also a simple two-thirds majority for the chairman.
The big boards, including India, want a simple majority to be made chairman, but Pakistan and some other countries are in favor of a two-thirds majority.
BCCI officials say the World Cricket Administration is being held hostage for ransom. The Indian board wants to make it clear that we are self-sufficient and our income comes from the IPL and the bilateral series, but what will those who depend on the ICC do, if 6 out of 17 votes in favor of a single candidate? If the other candidates get less votes than him, then he should be made the chairman.
The English board also termed the current situation as extremely detrimental to the health of cricket and said that there was a need for a chairman who could take the game's world economy forward. The BCCI also claimed that less than half a dozen members of the ICC are currently responsible for the crisis. He also gave the example of whether someone from South Asia can ever be made the chairman of FIFA or the International Olympic Committee. Will such a thing be accepted by the western countries?
