Dalmiya said the GCC -- whose damage claims from the ICC is likely to deprive the Indian Board of its entire World Cup guarantee money -- must be questioned as to why they did such a poor job of marketing an important event like the World Cup. "There are some clear instances of very poor marketing by the GCC and their Indian agents, Nimbus. They have been able to raise unbelievably low figures in some cases," Dalmiya told reporters in New Delhi after a meeting of the Board's Working Committee. Dalmiya's tirade against the GCC -- the global rights holders for all ICC events till 2007 -- comes in the wake of ICC withholding India's entire guarantee money to pay for the damages being claimed by GCC for the breach of contract by the Indian cricketers during the World Cup in South Africa earlier this year. Dalmiya clarified that the money being withheld by ICC was 6.5 million dollars, and not 9 million dollars as reported till now, and said BCCI would settle the issue with the ICC through negotiations. in-depth coverage > Cricket World Cup 2003 > |
