King Tendulkar Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 What's BCCI's beef with Lorgat? They are treating him like the evil second wife in many Saas-Bahu serials. :hysterical:
Austin 3:!6 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 India likely to tour South Africa in December! The BCCI president N Srinivasan and his CSA counterpart Chris Nenzani have "in principle agreed" for India to play three ODIs, a warm-up game and two Tests in South Africa in December, ESPNcricinfo understands. Although no formal statements have been released by the boards, some progress appears to have been made, two days after CSA offered to send "Lorgat on long leave". The fate of the series will be known when Srinivasan and BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel present the proposed tour itinerary to the BCCI working committee in Chennai on October 26. The two met with Nenzani on the sidelines of the ICC Board meeting in London on Saturday for finalising the solution to a three-month impasse. The working committee's decision is nothing but a formal approval once Srinivasan and Nenzani have worked out a solution. As a result, India is likely to start the tour with one-dayers in the first week of December and end it with the Boxing Day Test. It is unclear whether the BCCI and CSA have reached an agreement over the fate of David Becker, the former ICC Head of Legal and one of several lawyers offering CSA advice, who had criticised BCCI's stand on FTP in the wake of India's decision to prune the South Africa tour. However, the BCCI is likely to pursue the matter despite having agreed to tour South Africa. The BCCI's troubled relationship with CSA chief executive Haroon Lorgat is understood to be the central reason for the tour being in jeopardy. Becker denied Lorgat had played any role in his decision to release a statement last week. "For the avoidance of any doubt, Mr Lorgat had nothing to do with my comments. They were my own personal views and neither he nor anyone else at CSA had anything to do with them," Becker said on Sunday. The series between two of the most high-profile cricket nations has been hanging in balance since July 9, when the BCCI objected to the tour itinerary a day after it was announced by CSA. Previously, it had raised "concerns" over Lorgat being in the running for the CSA top job. While a meeting between Sanjay Patel and Lorgat in Dubai last month failed to resolve the contentious issues, the deadlock was broken when Nenzani was invited to India for a meeting after Srinivasan was reinstated as the BCCI chief earlier this month. :nice:
Sidhoni Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 That is good news. I think everyone was wishing for the same?
GoldenSun Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 That is good news. I think everyone was wishing for the same? Yes that is true, but I think the issue is that BCCI might crop it down to 2 tests and 3 ODIs. Most of us all want 3 tests and 5 ODIs.(7 ODIs are overkill)
FischerTal Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 India to tour South Africa for 2 Tests, 3 ODIs The Indian cricket board has agreed to a two-Test and three One-day International tour of South Africa after the home series against West Indies thus ending a period of uncertainty, which began when the BCCI rejected Cricket South Africa's original itinerary. According to the schedule announced by CSA in July, India were to play three Tests, seven ODIs and a T20 game but the BCCI, miffed that Haroon Lorgat was appointed chief executive, rejected the proposal. Last week Cricket South Africa president Chris Nenzani had met BCCI officials to sort out issues. Nenzani met BCCI president N Srinivasan on the sidelines of the International Cricket Council meeting in London on Saturday, where it was decided that India would tour South Africa, it is reliably learnt. The Indian tour to South Africa will began with a warm-up game. "The BCCI has agreed to tour to South Africa, which will last about three weeks. Both the cricket boards will announce the final schedule soon," a BCCI official said. Cricket South Africa had requested the BCCI to also include a T20 International as part of the tour, but it was turned down. :bigboss: According to the BCCI official, the reason for excluding a T20 game was because the objective was to keep the tour as short as possible because India are scheduled to travel to New Zealand in January next year. The Indian team's tour to South Africa was under threat after Lorgat — who as ICC chief executive pushed for the Decision Review System and commissioned the the Woolf Review Commission, both of which the Indian cricket board was opposed to — took over as chief executive of CSA. Lorgat was also part of the ICC when the India versus England World Cup game at the Eden Gardens was shifted out as the venue was not deemed fit to host the match. The BCCI had made its reservations clear over Lorgat being appointed as chief executive of Cricket South Africa and once he took charge, BCCI officials played hardball with regard to India's tour, which was a money spinner for the African nation. BCCI's secretary Sanjay Patel and Lorgat had met at the ICC's chief executives meeting in Dubai in September to discuss the way forward, but it became clear that BCCI officials didn't want to deal with Lorgat directly when CSA president Nenzani was invited for talks earlier this month.

Trichromatic Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 :facepalm: 2 tests in SA. It should be 3-4 match series.
SLICKR392 Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 1-0, India :isalute: Ishant to win us the series.
saneindian Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 A tour for just 3 weeks in December? Hmm WI tour gets over on 27th Nov NZ tour starts on 19th Jan Is the BCCI again planning a short ODI series with Pakistan / Sri Lanka early in January?
Lord Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 1-0' date=' India :isalute: Ishant to win us the series.[/quote']
moniker Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Good! Better to have a warm up game and 2 tests than no warm up games and 3 tests.
Ibes Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Better than no tour at all. Why 3 Odis in this tour why not split it up like the Aus tours. 3 Tests now and 5 Odis later ?
maniac Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 1-0' date=' India :isalute: Ishant to win us the series.[/quote'] :woot: you also forgot the new master :two_thumbs_up:
