BCB to oppose ICC’s scrapping of rotation policy
Quote:
Staff Correspondent
Bangladesh will oppose the idea of scrapping the rotating presidency of the International Cricket Council in the upcoming Annual General Meeting of the world cricket’s ruling body, a senior official of the Bangladesh Cricket Board said on Sunday.
The ICC system of appointing its president is set to undergo a change at the next annual general meeting of its board members in Hong Kong on June 28.
Pakistan and Bangladesh are next in line to nominate a president and a vice-president, which means dropping the idea will deny them a chance to nominate a person of their choice for the coveted posts.
‘We would recommend that the rotational cycle be completed and then the ICC can go for an election,’ said Manzur Ahmed, chief executive officer of the BCB.
‘Every ICC full member country should get its fair share and that is the reason we would recommend that the cycle of rotational policy be completed,’ said Manzur.
The rotation policy started in 1996 with Jagmohan Dalmiya of India being the first beneficiary of it after the BCCI nominated him as the ICC president.
The ICC has divided the 10 Test-playing nations into five pairs of two – Australia-New Zealand, West Indies-England, India-Sri Lanka, Pakistan-Bangladesh and South Africa-Zimbabwe.
Jagmohan Dalmiya of India became the first president of the world body under the system and he was succeeded by Malcolm Gray of Australia, who was a joint nominee of Australia and New Zealand. The other two personalities, who served the apex body as presidents, include Ehsan Mani of Pakistan and Percy Sonn of South Africa. Currently Sharad Pawar of India is presiding over the ICC.
The system came under scrutiny last year when former Australian prime minister John Howard’s candidacy for vice-president (who is president elect) was rejected outright by the other members at the AGM in Singapore, and Kiwi Alan Isaac was eventually chosen.
If the present system remains, Isaac will take over from incumbent Sharad Pawar, followed by a nominee from Pakistan-Bangladesh in 2015.

Yeah, it's just fair that everyone gets a turn. Then you can scrap it and say that everyone was given a fair chance.

Bangladesh give up the chance to head the ICC
| LOKENDRA PRATAP SAHI | Calcutta: Even as there are whispers that India’s tough posture on the Sri Lanka Premier League could have much to do with Sri Lanka abstaining from a crucial “resolution via circular” vote, in the International Cricket Council (ICC), many have been shocked by Bangladesh’s stand. By supporting that resolution, which seeks to amend the constitution and end the rotation policy where the presidency is concerned, the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has actually signed away the chance of its nominee getting to head the ICC in 2014. It was, after all, Bangladesh’s ‘turn’ to nominate a vice-president who’d eventually succeed New Zealand’s Alan Isaac in 2014. Isaac becomes the president next year, when Sharad Pawar’s tenure comes to an end. Bangladesh and Pakistan have been clubbed together in the rotation cycle and, given that the latter have already had their chance (Ehsan Mani was the ICC president from 2003-06), Bangladesh had the strongest claim this time. “Clearly, the BCB has fallen in line with the wishes of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), which wants the rotation to be scrapped... Obviously, the BCB must have been promised something in return, but what has happened is nothing short of a scandal,” a top source told The Telegraph. A senior BCB official neither took calls nor responded to a text message on Wednesday afternoon. Once the rotation policy is done away with, during the ICC’s Annual Conference week later this month, in Hong Kong, the road will be clear for a ‘Suitable Man’ to succeed Isaac. Problem, of course, is that the ‘Suitable Man’ may not really be the most suitable. The scrapping was recommended by the ICC’s governance review committee, which met in Chennai around the time of the IPL-IV final. A “resolution via circular” was then moved. While the Pakistan Cricket Board opposed it, Sri Lanka Cricket abstained. Eight of the 10 Full (or Test-playing) Members have to support a constitutional change and that number is with the BCCI and the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), who’re understood to be spearheading the move. However, that’s not all. A further 30 votes out of 40 are going to be needed when the change is put to vote before a much larger house, in Hong Kong. Of those 40, 35 will be Associate Members, with the remaining being Affiliates. The buzz is that the BCCI and the ECB won’t mind backing a 14-team World Cup, in 2015, just to ensure that the Associates (like Ireland and The Netherlands) don’t get together and defeat the constitutional amendment. After initially dumping the Associates, the ICC is “reviewing” the composition of the next World Cup, to be hosted by Australia-New Zealand. Pawar had to himself step in after a furore. What’s more interesting is talk that Narayanswamy Srinivasan, the BCCI’s secretary and president-elect, and ECB chairman Giles Clarke (at 58, eight years younger) possibly have their sights on the presidency, in 2014. As things stand, though, the path there is via the vice-president’s chair and, right now, the ICC’s constitution doesn’t allow the incumbent to simultaneously hold any position in his home Board. However, if the rotation bit can be thrown out, nothing stops the BCCI, in particular, from getting that clause removed as well. It has the muscle, it has the money and, to put it bluntly, is controlling world cricket. Not that there’s anything wrong, but Srinivasan is known to be ambitious. Significantly, his term as the BCCI president ends in 2014, the year Isaac vacates the No.1 post. Clarke is in office till next year. Meanwhile, speaking from London, Mani (who once worked very closely with the BCCI, during the Jagmohan Dalmiya days) said: “I don’t wish to comment on individuals and specific instances, but governance is lacking in the ICC... It’s bending to suit the BCCI’s interests.” The Tony Greigs, too, have been saying that. Footnote: Confirmation was awaited, but one learns that Isaac's successor won't have a fixed term. |

ICC set for fiery talks
Afp, Hong Kong
Cricket's governing body is set for fierce battles over moves to scrap its rotating presidency and bar "minnow" nations from the next World Cup at annual talks in Hong Kong starting on Sunday.
Powerful India, whose huge revenues give it a dominant position in the International Cricket Council (ICC), will also fight plans for blanket use of new technology allowing players to challenge umpires' decisions.
Memories are still fresh of last year's embarrassing meeting, when countries flatly refused to endorse conservative former Australian prime minister John Howard as the next ICC president, despite his nomination by Australia and New Zealand.
The debacle is thought to be at the heart of moves, reportedly spearheaded by India and England, to scrap the two-year rotational presidency, although details of any new system remain unclear.
But big changes will by met with vehement opposition from Pakistan and Bangladesh, who are scheduled to nominate the body's next-but-one leader to take power from 2014.
"We don't agree with the proposal of change and we have shown our reservations to the ICC," Pakistan Cricket Board chief operating officer Subhan Ahmed told the ESPNcricinfo website.
"We are in touch with the ICC over the matter and will decide the future course of action soon."
The ICC is also expected to water down plans to let only the 10 Test nations play the 2015 World Cup -- excluding countries such as Ireland, the Netherlands, Canada and Kenya -- following widespread opposition.
Officials are believed to be in favour of retaining a 10-team limit but may consider a qualifying tournament that would give minor nations a chance of reaching the event, which will be held in Australia and New Zealand.
India will also wage a lonely battle against the Decision Review System (DRS), where wicket decisions can be checked using video, audio, ball-tracking and thermal-imaging technology in an innovation welcomed by most countries.
India, burned by several DRS challenges and with superstar batsman Sachin Tendulkar a leading opponent, has vowed to fight an official recommendation to put the technology in place for all international games.
This week, English commentator and former Test batsman Geoff Boycott urged ICC members to defy India despite its wealth and influence, which is based on enormous incomes from its cricket-crazy, billion-plus population.
"If a majority of the ICC countries believe that the (DRS) is a good improvement for international cricket, they should vote for it and say, 'Sorry India, you are in a minority'," Boycott told ESPNcricinfo.

I wouldn't be surprised at that, as BCB is a govt headed org; and our current govt is BAL.
I hope we got that elusive IND tour out of this atleast; otherwise we just sold ourselves.

বিসিবিতে নির্বাচিত সভাপতি চান মোস্তফা কামাল!
মাথার ওপর ইন্ডিয়ান ক্রিকেট বোর্ডের ছায়া আছে বলেই যা দু’পয়সার মুখ দেখছে বাংলাদেশ ক্রিকেট বোর্ড (বিসিবি)। আয়রোজগারটা ভালোই হচ্ছে। এনিয়ে দ্বিমত পোষণের সুযোগ কোথায়। তাহলে ভারত যা চাচ্ছে তার বিপরীতে দাঁড়ানো মানে কী? নিজের পায়ে নিজেই কুড়াল মারার শামিল নয়? বিসিবি তো তাই করতে যাচ্ছে!
ভারত এবং ইংল্যান্ড ক্রিকেট বোর্ড চায় আন্তর্জাতিক ক্রিকেট কাউন্সিলের সভাপতি হবেন নির্বাচিত। তা আইনে রূপ দিতে আইসিসির বার্ষিক সভায় প্রস্তাবটি বিল আকারে উত্থাপন করা হবে। যেখানে শারদ পাওয়ার সভাপতিত্ব করবেন। সেখানে বিসিবি ও এসিসি সভাপতি আ হ ম মোস্তফা কামাল ভিন্ন মত প্রকাশের মতো দুঃসাহস দেখাবেন! অপ্রীতিকর কিছু না হলেই হয়। বিসিবি সভাপতি হয়তো পাতানো খেলা খেলতে যাচ্ছেন। ভারতের শিখিয়ে দেওয়া বুলি আওড়াবেন। ভারত লোক দেখানো হুঙ্কার দেবে। ভেতরে ভেতরে সম্পর্কটা মজবুত হবে। তা না হলে যে পাকিস্তান ক্রিকেট বোর্ডের সঙ্গে এই দুই দেশের ক্রিকেট বোর্ডের সম্পর্কের অবনতি হওয়ার ভয় আছে।
সে যাই হোক আইসিসি সভাপতি পদে বিসিবি সভাপতি একেবারেই যে নির্বাচন চায় না বিসিবি তা কিন্তু নয়। চক্র সম্পন্ন হওয়ার পর নির্বাচন দিলে খুশি বিসিবি সভাপতি লোটাস কামাল। শনিবার সাংবাদিকদের তাই তো বলেছেন,“আইসিসিতে সভাপতি মনোনয়নের চক্র সম্পন্ন হওয়ার পর নির্বাচক চাই। আমাদের প্রস্তাব সেভাবেই থাকবে। অবশ্য ভারতে প্রস্তাবের কাছে সেটা নাও টিকতে পারে।”
বর্তমান চক্রপূরণের দাবির পেছনে একটা যুক্তিও আছে। পরবর্তী সভাপতির পদের জন্য পাকিস্তান এবং বাংলাদেশের পালা। সুযোগটা হাতছাড়া হতে যাচ্ছে দেখেই তো বিসিবি সভাপতি চক্রপূরণের পর নির্বাচনের পক্ষে।
আইসিসির সভাপতির পদে চক্রপূরণের পর নির্বাচিত সভাপতি হওয়ার পক্ষে থাকলেও বিসিবিতে নির্বাচিত সভাপতি হলে আপত্তি নেই মোস্তফা কামালের। বিসিবি সভাপতির এমন উদার মনোভাবের পেছনে অন্য কিছুর গন্ধ পাচ্ছেন ক্রিকেট সংশ্লিষ্টরা। ২০১২ সালেই তো বিসিবি সভাপতির পদে পরিবর্তন আসতে পারে। সেজন্যই বোধ হয় বিসিবিতে নির্বাচিত সভাপতি দেখার কথা অবলিলায় বলে দিতে পারলেন মোস্তফা কামাল।
বোর্ড সভাপতি নির্বাচিত হওয়া সম্পর্কে তিনি বলেন,“বোর্ড সভাপতি নির্বাচিত হবে এই সিদ্ধান্তকে আমরা স্বাগত জানাই। ওই পদ্ধতির বিপক্ষে যাওয়ার কোন কারণ নেই। আমাদের দেশের ক্রিকেটের জন্য নির্বাচিত সভাপতি খুবই গুরুত্বপূর্ণ।”
অবশ্য এখানে দারুণ যুক্তি দিয়েছেন মোস্তফা কামাল,“নির্বাচিত সভাপতি হলে সে মেয়াদ পূরণ করতে পারবে। রাজনৈতিক ব্যাকগ্রাউন্ড থাকলেও কোন সমস্যা হবে না।”
তার মতে,“আমাদের এখানে রাজনৈতিক পট পরিবর্তন হলে বোর্ড সভাপতির পদেও পরিবর্তান আসে। নির্বাচিত সভাপতির ক্ষেত্রে তা হবে না। সে তার পরিকল্পনা বাস্তবায়নের সুযোগ পাবে। বিসিবির জন্য নির্বাচিত সভাপতি খুবই দরকার।”
বাংলাদেশের ক্রীড়াঙ্গনে মাত্র দুটি প্রতিষ্ঠানে নির্বাচিত সভাপতি আছেন। ফুটবল ফেডারেশন তারমধ্যে অন্যতম। দ্বিতীয়টি হলো বাংলাদেশ অলিম্পিক অ্যাসোসিয়েশন (বিওএ)। যদিও ১৯৭৪ সালের জাতীয় ক্রীড়ানীতি অনুযায়ী যে কোন ফেডারেশনের সভাপতির পদ নির্বাচিত অথবা মনোনীত হতে পারবে।
ওহ কোচের বিষয়টি পরিষ্কার করেছেন বিসিবি সভাপতি। “কোচ ঠিক হয়ে আছে। সব কিছু চূড়ান্ত। তবে নাম বলতে পারবো না।”
আইসিসির সভায় যোগ দিতে রোববার হংকংয়ে যাচ্ছেন বিসিবি সভাপতি আ হ ম মোস্তফা কামাল। ২৯ জুন আইসিসির বার্ষিক সভা হবে সেখানে। এশিয়ান ক্রিকেট কাউন্সিলের সভাও হবে। বিসিবির প্রধান নির্বাহী কর্মকর্তা মঞ্জুর আহমেদ এরই মধ্যে হংকং পৌঁছে গেছেন। রোববার আইসিসির সদস্য দেশগুলোর সিইও’দের বেঠক হবে।
