BCB president in line for the ICC post
Date: 22 March, 2010(Monday)

If AHM Mustafa Kamal, FCA, MP, survives as the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) president for few more years then he may succeed former Australian Prime Minister, John Howard, as ICC vice president in 2012 (when Howard takes over from Sharad Pawar as ICC chief) and ICC president in 2014.
This was re-emerge from the correspondence received from New Zealand's Sir John Anderson, who lost the ICC vice president post to former Australia Prime Minister John Howard. "The order commenced with India (Jagmohan Dalmiya ), then Australia (Malcolm Gray ), Pakistan (Ehsan Mani ), South Africa (Percy Sonn ), the system then in 2007 moved to the current Vice President/President system, with rotation around Australia/New Zealand, West Indies/England, India/Sri/Lanka, Pakistan/Bangladesh, South Africa/Zimbabwe", he said from New Zealkand.
"The next country's turn is Pakistan/Bangladesh", he further added. If the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) does not insist for his own man, and the post goes to Mustafa Kamal, he will be the third consecutive politician at the helm. Also considering the fact that Pakistan's Ehsan Mani has already occupied the chair and the game in Pakistan is being run inconsistently, a representative from BCB would always be welcome to chair the world cricketing body.
Voicing his concern for the first time and exclusively after losing the "battle" to Howard, Sir Anderson said, "the ICC system seems to be wrong as national pride will cause deadlocks similar to this (Australia-New Zealand) in the future. The earlier method of choosing the candidate was more appropriate".
Elaborating about the earlier method, he said: "The earlier ICC method of selection of President (there was no Vice President) in 1996 was a rotation amongst Full Members, who would each have a turn in appointing the President/Chair.”
