'If India becomes weak, we become weak' - BCB chief

BCB chief Nazmul Hassan has said that the issues India have with the ICC's proposed revenue model need to be sorted as a "weaker BCCI means weaker Bangladesh".

The BCB chief, who is also a part of ICC working group, met the BCCI's Committee of Administrators (CoA) chief Vinod Rai today, to discuss issues related to the ICC board meeting later this month.

"Everybody is trying to find a middle path to solve [the revenue structure problem] in a more amicable manner," Hassan said after his meeting with the CoA, according to PTI. "We don't want any member country to get hurt. Especially India as they have always supported us. If India becomes weak, we also become weak."

However, Hassan is an advocate of equitable distribution of ICC revenue. "I was a party to the decision when N Srinivasan was there [as ICC head] and the Big Three concept was mooted. Look, I believe we need a more equitable distribution but that certainly doesn't mean you take away India's share. No, no that's not what we want."

Hassan said there was still a need, though, to help member countries which are going through financial crises. 

Asked about the proposed changes to the ICC's governance structure, Hassan said different member countries had different issues with it. "Not all of us had agreed on the governance structure. There are a lot of issues that others don't agree and there are some with which we don't agree. That's why it was placed at the ICC board meeting for everybody's observation."

Hassan said both the BCCI and the BCB have submitted their observations on the governance issue with the ICC. He said the BCB discussed its reservations with the CoA. "The COA put forth their point on what their concerns on revenue model and governance structure are, while we also told them why we are supporting a few issues and not all. We will meet again and want more countries to join us," he said.

Hassan also met ICC chairman Shashank Manohar in Nagpur before his meeting with the CoA. Hassan is part of the five-man ICC steering group lead by Manohar, which prepared the new draft constitution, which will be discussed at the second quarterly meeting of the ICC board later this month in Dubai.

Hassan said the steering group will be meeting before the ICC meetings to discuss the responses filed by various Full Member boards on the draft constitution. According to Hassan, he met Manohar to discuss a possible date for the steering group's meeting. "We are trying to find a suitable date because there are lot of recommendations from various boards. [If] we have to incorporate changes, we need to change the governance structure and finalise it before the next [ICC] board meeting."

BCB board knows who provides them with rosgullas in the form of regular Indian LOI games played in Bangladesh - whether its Asia cup or bilaterals.

You may hate the Don , but can't deny BCCI needs him on the high table.

Very sensible comment from BCB chief. Surprised as I didn't think he was that sensible.

Replace "IPL" with Home series - and this is pretty much spot on.  If tomorrow BCCI dangle a "home" series for PCB played even in Antartica, all these clowns - Najam, Shahrayr, whatever will put on ghagra choli and perform Mujra for BCCI.

No need to.  The one bitch that's trying to act uppity is feeling the force of the pimp hand.  Rest of them fall in line automatically.
