The might of BCCI:Dominance over ICC

[Protectionist Gareth]

Just like the English & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket Australia (CA) in the past, the BCCI has been known to use its power to influence the ICC's decisions over scheduling, player suspensions and ICC appointments. As India is by far the biggest market in terms of international cricket revenue, the BCCI's opinions tend to gain a large weighting within the ICC's decision making process, with other cricketing nations unwilling to oppose due the potential loss of financial benefits associated with Indian cricket. After the controversial 2007/08 Sydney test between Australia and India, the BCCI suggested to the ICC to withdraw controversial umpire Steve Bucknor (who has a history of making wrong decisions against India and made several mistakes in the test match, mostly at India's expense) for the rest of the tour, replacing him with New Zealand umpire Billy Bowden. Additionally, an immediate three-match ban imposed on Harbhajan Singh for alleged racial abuse was suspended and later lifted after the charges were proven to be false in an ICC disciplinary hearing, which was initiated only after the BCCI threatened to withdraw the Indian team from the tour unless the ban was rightfully lifted. The BCCI was accused by other cricketing nations of unfairly utilising its power to pressure the ICC into making concessions to them, whilst the ICC in turn was accused of being 'spineless'.

If power comes with such irresponsibility, then it has come to the undeserving.

Anyway, PCB and BCCI are friends, both helped each other in past.
