Malcolm Merlyn Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 As per the report, ICC has not even applied for an exemption with the Indian government, considering they themselves would have to share their own revenue patterns and all related papers with the authorities in order to avail an exemption. A lot has been spoken about the International Cricket Council's plan to take away the hosting rights of 2021 ICC Champions Trophy as well as the 2023 World Cup from India, in the wake of Indian government's resistance over giving the apex body a tax exemption. While the threat of losing the rights of the two major ICC events looms large, the BCCI has reportedly warned that it will invoke the Members Participation Agreement (MPA) if such a scenario becomes reality. As per a TOI report, sources aware of the developments said: “Should the ICC use tax exemptions from Indian government as an excuse to make up for their own losses and propose the shifting of tournaments, it will lead to a disaster. India will pull out of all agreements.” “The matter came up when the ICC board expressed their concern around the absence of tax exemption from the Indian Government for ICC events held in India, despite ongoing efforts from both the ICC and BCCI to secure the exemption which is a standard practice for major sporting events around the world,” the ICC statement had said after a meeting earlier this month. ICC’s independent chairman Shashank Manohar, who is gearing up for a re-election to the chair in June this year, is said to have won the previous elections because of his resolve to do away with the financial model first dictated by India. Those speaking for the BCCI say that “now those numbers in the present cycle cannot be compensated so India’s tax laws can’t be used as an excuse”. The TOI report further reveals that the ICC has not even applied for an exemption with the Indian government, considering they themselves would have to share their own revenue patterns and all related papers with the authorities in order to avail an exemption. The BCCI, however, says ICC — despite Manohar at the helm — expects them to start a dialogue with the government and expects India to clear past tax dues, including the 2016 World T20. “This is a joke, unless, there are individuals doing this to protect their own chairs after projecting financial surpluses that now cannot be justified,” a source tracking the developments told TOI. In the worst case scenario where the ICC decides to shift two major cricket tournaments outside of India, in order to compensate for their own losses of US$100m, the stand-off between them and the BCCI will surely get ugly. This time, the BCCI will not flinch in invoking its rights through the MPA. India’s losses in those newly proposed ICC revenues don’t mean a thing. The proposed loss is not even enough to make up for what the BCCI earns through a single bilateral or two (Star pays Rs 43 crore per match according to the present contract and the renewed one is expected to fetch more in the new bidding). To make up for the rest of the world, you can’t take a tournament of this magnitude away from India,” the source added while speaking about the matter. India last hosted an ICC event in 2016 – ICC World Twenty20 – but a tax exemption was not given by the government. ICC’s latest decision to search for an alternative venue for both 2021 and 2023, however, has not gone down well with the Indian cricket board. http://www.timesnownews.com/sports/cricket/article/bcci-to-break-away-from-icc-if-2021-champions-trophy-2023-world-cup-hosting-rights-taken-away-report/199051 Laaloo 1 Link to comment
sarcastic Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 What would be the consequence of BCCI going away from ICC? Who will team India play with then? Only bilateral series with other cricket board teams... and no CT and WC hereafter. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Nothing will happen. We won’t break away with ICC and we will stay host all the tournaments which we are supposed to. Future headlines might also involve how Pakistan can’t tour etc and hence we shouldn’t host. Pakistan will still tour India and play us in a group game in a wc and they will also get knocked out early. JaFanatic, sergio04, adi B and 3 others 1 4 1 Link to comment

Cricketics Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 @Malcolm Merlyn is worried and hyping the issue for no reason. All will be fine Malcolm. We won’t give ICC anything and we will host everything which we need to. You worry too much for no reason. Rasgulla and Laaloo 2 Link to comment

Khota Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 This kind of bickering does India no good. With power comes responsibility and BCCI has not displayed it. Link to comment
Prateek3801 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 These are some petty threats, I don't think one must waste some time on this. BCCI won't take this radical step to break away because they know that they will suffer a huge backlash and ICC won't let BCCI go away because BCCI is the biggest contributor in ICC's revenue generation.

NameGoesHere Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Media games: 1. Create a controversy based on 'sources' and 'insiders'. 2. Help some people conduct their personal battles behind the garb of anonymity. 3. Get randoms fans riled up into painstaking, passionate and pointless debates over hypotheticals. 4. Almost every time- Nothing happens. 5. Go to #1 again. adi B and saik 2 Link to comment
Rightarmfast Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 ICC cant dare to break away from BCCI. BCCI can form a parallel body and with so much of money, all the cricketing boards will tie up with BCCI. Link to comment

Bottomline everyone wants our money. True. But you have to be smart about it. Not pick fights but do it behind the scenes. Empire did it for 200 years and still doing it. Moreover dont forget England, Australia and NewZealand will always vote together. Link to comment

I have a feeling it would be 10 against 1 for India so it has to be handled carefully. First order of the day is to comply with Lodha comittee and get the absuive court of the back. The court is correct as far as corruption in BCCI goes but they have stayed toooooo long. Link to comment
