CoA-BCCI rift likely to worsen further

New Delhi: The rift between the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) seems to be unending as a fresh round of squabbling has erupted between the two.

The CoA has notified acting board secretary Amitabh Choudhary that if he wishes to stay back in England following the ICC annual conference from June 28 to July 2 in Dublin, to watch India's three T20I matches against England, the BCCI will not bear their expenses.

"The Committee of Administrators has taken note of your email. Although you have not sought approval from the CoA for your travels abroad, permission is granted for you to travel only to Dublin for attending the ICC meetings from June 28 to July 2," the COA's mail read.

"Kindly ensure that expenses towards ticketing and hotel stay are limited to the extent borne by ICC."

"From the contents of your email, the CoA does not see any value addition to the BCCI in your merely watching the three-T20 India-England games to be played in England.

"Hence, if you wish to attend these games, kindly ensure that BCCI does not incur any expenses in this regard," the mail further read.
