Bangladesh, Sri Lanka Could Withdraw Support For BCCI

The Board of Control for Cricket in India's move to "stall the proposed constitutional and financial reforms" in the Int'l Cricket Council "may suffer a roadblock" if the BCCI tries to send former BCCI president and ICC Chair N. Srinivasan as its representative at the world body's board meeting, according to the PTI. The Committee Of Administrators reportedly may "spring into action" if Srinivasan, who is 72 years old, becomes the BCCI's representative at the global body's forum. There are rumors that Srinivasan will have the backing of the majority of state units at the BCCI Special General Meeting, "tentatively scheduled for April 9," but this move could mean that Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will no longer support India. A senior BCCI source said, "The Bangladesh Cricket Board is very wary of Srinivasan. They have not forgotten the kind of insult the then-ICC President Mustafa Kamal faced at the 2015 World Cup in Australia. Bangladesh for certain will not be with India if Srinivasan is BCCI's choice at ICC Board Meet." Even Sri Lanka "might have other thoughts." The same is true for Zimbabwe, as India requires three votes "to stop the reforms." The source added, "If the reform proposals come up for voting and Srinivasan is BCCI representative, don't be surprised if BCCI lose 1-9 or 2-8 maybe" (PTI, 4/2).
