Shah refuted Speed’s claim, saying the Indian board was free to take the decision next year as the ICC’s Future Tours Programme (FTP) agreement, quoted by Speed, is only upto 2007.
“The ICC tournaments are coming in the way of our interests,” Shah told DNA. He contended that India was not in a position to hold regular matches in October-November as the ICC schedules its matches at that time. “England, West Indies and Australia can hold their home series uninterrupted. Why can’t we do that? Even Pakistan have a similar issue with the ICC,” Shah claimed.
Shah said he felt the ICC should confine its activity to holding the World Cup and other junior tournaments. Shah also pointed out that India was the ICC’s main source of revenue and for that reason the BCCI should not be made to pay.
