Dalmiya fires a salvo at ICC

March 21, 2003 02:35 IST

Board of Control for Cricket Indian president Jagmohan Dalmiya Monday called for the International Cricket Council to be even-handed in the way it enforced financial penalties.

India were told before the World Cup they would be having a portion of their proceeds witheld following the players' decision to alter the terms of their tournament contracts.

But Dalmiya, speaking to reporters during India's day-night World Cup semi-final, said the ICC should also have to be equally firm with England and New Zealand who forfeited World Cup matches in Zimbabwe and Kenya respectively and so risked potential financial penalties.

"This has got to be sorted out. We can't go on like this," said Dalmiya ahead of a two-day ICC executive board meeting in Johannesburg starting Friday.

"But what applies to one must apply to all," added Dalmiya, a former president of the ICC.

Dalmiya did not appear too concerned by the prospect of any action being taken by the world governing body against India. "The money is in the reserve bank of cricket.

"I've had a little experience of the ICC. The ICC can't claim for money against us if there are no claims against the ICC."
