BCCI decline ECB invite
July 29, 2008
The Board of Control for Cricket in India has rejected England's invitation to play in their version of the Champions League, to be held in Sharjah in October, giving a new twist to the wrangling between the two boards over the Twenty20 event.
BCCI vice-president and Indian Premier League Commissioner Lalit Modi conveyed India's decision to England and Wales Cricket Board Chief Executive David Collier, who had sent the invite.
India's refusal to take part in ECB's Twenty20 initiative came a day after the BCCI made it clear that it would go ahead with its own version of the Champions League in India and is prepared to leave out teams from England if it did not agree to the terms and conditions.
The BCCI replied on Monday saying that though it wishes the ECB all the best with its tournament, it is not in a position to accept the invitation.
Modi also clearly informed the eight IPL franchises that they can participate only in tournaments run and approved by the BCCI.
The BCCI and ECB are insisting on staging their versions of the Champions League, with each claiming that the Australian and South African Boards are with them.

No action against three players: BCCI
July 16, 2008
BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla today said the press report featuring three Indian players enjoying a midnight beach party before Asia Cup final in Karachi was totally wrong and the Cricket Board would neither enquire nor take any action against them.
"The report appeared in a leading Urdu daily 'Jung' was totally wrong," Shukla, who was in the steel city on personal visit, told newsmen.
"BCCI will neither order for any probe nor take any action against the three Indian cricketers in this regard," Shukla said adding that in fact, the photographs of the players including Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina were not of Karachi beach.
Those were old photos taken at Sydney, Australia during the last tour, he said.

BCCI, India
The Board of Control for Cricket in India, or BCCI, is the governing body for cricket in India. This is India's richest sporting body. The President of BCCI is Sharad Pawar (elected 29 November, 2005). Niranjan Shah is the secretary.
All the office-bearers for the year 2004-05, were elected at the annual general meeting of the Board held in Kolkata.
On January 10, 2005, the Supreme Court of India ordered the removal of Jagmohan Dalmiya from the post of patron-in-chief of BCCI and also asked the board to complete its annual general meeting (AGM) which had been adjourned on September 30, 2004.
The legality of the office-bearer's election at the board's annual general meeting (AGM) held on September 29, 2004 is subjudice.
