No investigation against GCC by BCCI: ICC
15.00 IST   04th July 2003

By IndiaExpress Bureau

In an apparent bid to avoid a direct conflict between Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Global Cricket Corporation (GCC), the International Cricket Council (ICC) said the Indian Board has agreed not to make any "claims or investigations" against the official rights holders of ICC events.

A day after BCCI's attack that GCC did a "very poor job" of marketing the World Cup, ICC President Ehsan Mani said in a press release in London that he had discussed the issue with BCCI President Jagmohan Dalmiya and it was agreed that no action would be initiated by BCCI now.

"The ICC is dealing with the claims made by GCC and the matters being disputed are contractual matters between the ICC and GCC," Mani said.

"On this basis, I have agreed with Mr. Dalmiya that the BCCI will not make any claims against GCC or initiate any investigations into its marketing activities at the present time."

Mani also welcomed the comments by Dalmiya that he would seek to sit down with the ICC to resolve the contractual issues that have arisen between the two bodies.

"I look forward to the chance to sit down with Mr. Dalmiya to resolve the outstanding contractual issues and I welcome his comments to resolve these issues in this way," he said.

GCC has made a claim against the ICC for damages arising from the 2003 World Cup and the ICC is currently developing a comprehensive response to GCC's claim.

It is expected that the process of resolving the dispute will drag on for several months.
