INDIA READY TO BOYCOTT WORLD CUP

The Board of Control for Cricket in India has decided to take on the International Cricket Council head on. The upbeat BCCI has, in its special general body meeting on December 25, has decided to reject the newly-proposed offers by the ICC to make the Indian cricketers sign the 2003 ICC World Cup contracts.

There was a teleconference this afternoon between the ICC and the members of all the cricket Boards round the world in which the ICC made its new proposals public. The ICC agreed to reduce the 30-day period where cricketers can’t endorse their individual sponsors conflicting with the World Cup sponsors to just five days, and for the finalists of the event, it will be 20 days. Jagmohan Dalmiya, the BCCI president, attended the teleconference from Kolkata.

Regarding the image rights, the ICC has also agreed to come down from its earlier demands. However, the BCCI says it is not legally bound to accept the terms and conditions set by the ICC. The BCCI has cited the example of Tony Greig, John Snow and Mike Proctor who in 1977 took the cricket’s parent body, to court.

In its ruling, the London court had said that the contracts signed first will be considered valid, and no individual or institution can force someone to sign any contract without one’s agreement.

The second point that the BCCI is going to raise is: regarding the image clause, what about the period of 30 days prior to the tournament? The ambush marketing has already started in some cases and it will be difficult for the BCCI to stop its players from appearing in commericals before the event.

Said a top BCCI source, “We have decided to reject the ICC proposals. And we dare them – have a cricket World Cup without India’s participation and make it a success.” When asked if the players also have been informed about the development, he said, “Of course. We are doing this for the players only. They are also ready to forsake the World Cup for their rights. Let them have it without India. We are ready.”

The ball, as the BCCI official put it, “is in the ICC’s court now.”

Let it not be true!

Are they afraid to face Pakistan?

I think based on recent perfomances it is fitting that India not play the WorldCup thereby sparing miliions of people back home the inevitable agony and pain.

Having said that, India can afford to boss around with the ICC. After all due to the following that the Indian team commands, the team is most lucrative from the standpoint of revenues from advertising, sponsorships and TV rights .

So true, after their recent performance,

ICC has done everything possible to make India say yes, they have met their demands on almost every possible, they extended their deadline to announce 30 probables a month more than the other teams but these idiots will value money over their country.
As much as I would like to see Pakistan thrash India in the WC but if they have this much pungays than ICC just needs to dump them and go on with the successfull world cup.

This is so bad for the cricket:nook:
Okay Indian players had agreements but ICC needs to run as well and they have got lucrative offers too. If icc is showing some leniency, Indian bosses should do the same too

You got that right. :slight_smile:

Kind of funny to see India making a big issue out of nothing. Come on man, this is the World Cup, you don't play for yourself, you play for your country.

I think the players need to go to the slums of Mumbai, or any other poor area, where there is millions of passionate fans; just to see India win and cheering them on. A little tour around India will open those greedy players eyes and see how much the people are looking up to them.

India can act like this because it knows taking 1 billion viewers, it owns all the sponsers too and brings money to the game the most.

Hope they do!

Have you looked at the recent Indian performances? Losing 2-0 Test Series and side match as well. What do you say about that?

India is acting like small kid. Like I remember when we were in Pakistan and all cousins used to gather and play cricket we HAD to take my little brother in the playing eleven because he was the owner of the bat and he always used to threaten “mujhey batting per bhaijoo warna apna bat lay jaoon ga” … “mujhey bhee khilaoo warna apna bat lay jaoon ga”. So martey kia na kertey we used to take him in the team. Well not on the basis of his skills (he was to0 young so we were like is ko tum lay loo..is ko tum lay loo apnee team meen) but JUST because he owned that cricket bat that my uncle gave him as a gift. Oh by the way you know what happened a day came that we all were fed up of his black mailing (he also used to take 2 batting turns) so we contributed the money and bought 2 bats. From that day we never included my brother until he grew up and was really able to compete with us in the real game

Moral of the story ? well I don’t think its too hard to guess. What do you say AQ and Some1 ?

18

NW, you mean that all the other cricket nations get togeather and stop playing India.
That should teach them the lesson.

Then how will teams like Newzeland, Kenya, Zimbabwe and Westindies improve their record if India stops playing cricket.

Nice Story !! How long did it take you to come up with that ?

It amazes me that when your batsmen put up a pathetic performance against NZ, they still try to blackmail the rest of the cricketing world on the basis of the strength of the very fans whom they have given so much grief and disappointment recently. Time for these nincompoops to perform or shut up. The only thing of note from the NZ tour were Harbhajan, Zaheer, Nehra and Youhannan.
