Appointment of representative on ICC

One of the items on the agenda at the BCCI’s 85th Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Cricket Centre here on Monday would be to appoint the Board’s representative(s) on the International Cricket Conference and similar conferences. As of now, former president N. Srinivasan is the BCCI representative on the ICC.

The BCCI, under the presidentship of Jagmohan Dalmiya, decided to continue with Srinivasan, who was elected ICC Chairman in 2014, as its representative on the ICC at its last AGM in Chennai on March 2.

There is speculation that Manohar himself take up the role on the ICC board with Pawar as the alternate representative.

Replacement for Srinivasan

There are reports that the BCCI president Shashank Manohar has been urged to find a replacement for Srinivasan, but until Sunday afternoon the BCCI has not told Srinivasan that it will name his replacement for the next seven months. It’s not mandatory on the part of the BCCI to do so.

“He’s done his job as chairman of ICC and also worked to get good (Rs. 617 crore) Champions League Twenty20 compensation money. He feels it’s the BCCI prerogative and that he’s fine with whatever decision they take,” said a TNCA functionary.

By virtue of being ICC chairman, Srinivasan is also chairman of the ICC, ICC-Development International, and ICC Business Corporation Board of Directors, ICC Development Committee, ex-officio member of the ICC Cricket Committee, Chief Executive’s Committee, Audit Committee, Governance Review Committee, HR and Remuneration Committee, Executive Committee, Nominations Committee and member of ICC Finance and Commercial Affairs Committee.

BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur represents the Board in the ICC Chief Executives Committee, ICC Governance Committee and the Disputes Resolution Committee.

India steady at 2nd, Kohli rises in ICC ODI rankings

The series loss to South Africa notwithstanding, India held on to their second spot in the team list, while star batsman Virat Kohli rose up a rung to second in the batsmen's table of the latest ICC ODI cricket rankings issued today.

South Africa retained their third position but reduced second-ranked India's advantage to two points in the rankings following the 3-2 series victory, which concluded with a mammoth 214-run victory in Mumbai yesterday.

The Proteas went into the series on 110 points, five adrift of MS Dhoni's men, but AB de Villiers' side fought back after conceding early ground to clinch the series in a dramatic final game.

Meanwhile, as a consequence of the 3-2 home series defeat, Zimbabwe have stayed in 10th place, a fraction ahead of Ireland, with Afghanistan one more point behind following their historic inaugural series victory over a Test playing country.

By stint of a series of impressive batting displays the top 10 has re-jigged and a number of Proteas batsmen have risen in the ICC Player Rankings for ODI Batsmen.




Skipper de Villiers retained his number one ranking, and is now 96 points clear of Kohli in second place, after scoring three centuries (104 not out, 112 and 119) in five matches. Hashim Amla has dropped three places to fifth, while Dhoni has moved up two places to sixth and holds an 11-point advantage over his team-mate Shikhar Dhawan.
