A meeting was held recently between the CCI office bearers and the Committee of Administrators (COA) on Wednesday to take a call on cricket team’s participation in the Olympics. “It is still being discussed it will go through to the general body,” COA member Diana Edulji told reporters after the meeting.
With the matter now being referred to the BCCI general body, it seems unlikely that the Indian board will be interested to follow the Olympic charter.
The meeting did bring good news for the national men and women selection committee, which rewarded each member Rs 15 lakh for the stellar performance of both teams in the International Cricket Council (ICC) events. “They have been rewarded for selecting good teams,” said Edulji, the former India women’s captain.
Three days back, controversial pacer S Sreesanth’s life ban was revoked by the Kerala High Court and that was also discussed in the meeting.
“Azharuddin’s case and Sreesanth’s case has been referred to the general body as is being studied by the legal team.” Edulji said.
She also said that board treasurer Aniruddh Chaudhary is working on the modalities of pay revision for the first-class cricketers. “There are 10 units that have sent the list.” she said.
