India vs Pakistan clashes in ICC meeting, no decision for the President's post

Some ICC members and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) want the new ICC Chairperson to be elected on a two-thirds majority basis, while most members - including India, England and Australia - believe the process to be a simple majority. Should be on the basis only.

The meeting took place on this matter on Monday. The outcome of the meeting through teleconferencing did not yield any results. Sources say, 'The ICC has 17 votes. Two-thirds would mean the winner gets 12 votes, while a simple majority will win 9 votes.

There are 11 members of the governing body comprising India, England, Australia, South Africa and seven others on one side and interim chairman Imran Khwaja, independent director Indra Nooyi, three associate members and the Pakistan Cricket Board on the other side.

A person closely watching the case said, 'Actually, there is a competition going on between India and Pakistan in the ICC. Now it is up to the BCCI to decide what they want to do.

There is no clear definition in the ICC on what the election process should be like. Sources said, "In such circumstances, the board can pass a resolution with a simple majority." It is part of the constitution of the ICC. So they can resolve this issue if they want. '
