ICC Board to pass structural changes despite BCCI opposition

The majority of the ICC Board members, on Saturday, voted in favour of restructured revenue sharing model despite vehement opposition from the BCCI representative Vikram Limaye.

According to highly placed sources, India only got support from Sri Lanka while Zimbabwe abstained when the matter was put to floor test. Pakistan, New Zealand, South Africa, West Indies, England and Australia all voted in favour of change in revenue distribution and governance structure.

The ICC Board, on Saturday, met to discuss the changes in revenue model where India, England and Australia were to get the major share of revenue as the 'Big Three', a move opposed by other Test nations and by England and Australia too.

"I had clearly told the board that I cannot support the official base document which is based on faith and equity. The members and chairman were sympathetic that we have just taken charge and I would need time to study the document," Limaye said. The ICC will pass the resolution in April Board meeting.
