Speaking exclusively at the hotel here on Tuesday late evening, he said: �Ifthe issue comes on voting in the AGM here on Wednesday, we are going to abstainfrom the voting. The decision has nothing to do with the Indian cricket board�sdecision of not sending the players for the Sri Lanka Premier League (SLPL) inColombo next month. I had a long chat with the BCCI president and secretary,Shashank Manohar and N Srinivasan on players� participation for the firstedition of the league. I am sadden by their decision and hope if their standstill gets changed in days to come.�

 

The BCCI�s move to ouster the next ICC vice president (and then the president)is clearly to keep the man from any of Bangladesh and Pakistan for holding thiskey post. �How can Ijaz Butt dream of becoming the ICC president when he is notable to run the board in his own country�, one of the former BCCI official,said to this scribe here.

 

According to the sources, the BCCI is keen to have Shashank Manohar for thispost in future. The PCB chairman, Ijaz Butt, had a long discussion with the ECBchairman Giles Clark and their points of decision is unlikely to have only beenrestricted to Pakistan�s �home series� against England at the neutral venue, ThePakistan Nation reports.
