BCCI gets tough with Lankan board
Oct 26, 2008
BCCI has reportedly decided to put on hold all future bilateral series with Sri Lanka because of "hostile" statements made by Sri Lanka Cricket chairman Arjuna Ranatunga.
BCCI officials refused to confirm the development while Sri Lankan sources said that talks between the boards had run into rough weather. The dispute had started over a proposed Test tour by Sri Lanka to England in April-May next year, when the IPL tournament takes place.
Since top Lankan players have contracts to play in IPL, BCCI had proposed a financial package to help SLC tide over its losses if the tour was cancelled.
The Indian officials were reportedly unhappy over a "damaging" comment from Ranatunga in Dubai stating that BCCI was trying to buy Sri Lankan cricket with the bailout package proposal. BCCI sources said since the aid package hadn't been finalized or made public, Ranatunga had no business talking about it.
BCCI official Niranjan Shah, however, rubbished reports of a BCCI boycott, saying, "There is no truth in such reports and we are not putting on hold future bilateral tours with Sri Lanka."
The meeting between representatives of the two boards, which took place in Bangkok, was reportedly attended by Modi and other Indian board officials, and SLC's interim committee member Siddath Wettimuny and two other SLC officials.
The agreement was to be based on three conditions: Top Lankan players would be released for the IPL season, BCCI would compensate SLC and the two top club teams from Sri Lanka will be invited to next year's Champions League. The Lankan board wanted India to tour Sri Lanka again in 2009 and 2010 for some One-day matches.
The confidential documents reportedly state that, apart from putting the tours on hold, the Indian board had also decided to withdraw the $40 million bailout package offer to Sri Lankan cricket.
Modi reportedly said at the meeting that the bailout package was made with a genuine effort to assist Sri Lankan cricket who had a mutual understanding with them.
