BCCI convenes  WC meeting to decide on US tour

The Indian cricket’s governing body BCCI convened a working committee meeting in Mumbai August 2 to discuss the West Indies Cricket Board’s proposal for a T20 series in the US soon after the four-match Test series.

The two cricket BCCI and WICB officials are in discussions about two T20 matches in Florida during the week following  next month’s fourth Test. The series will also feature in Bangladesh.

Besides the clearance from ICC, as the USCA is suspended, the tour will also face logistical problems including visas for the Indian players.

However, a BCCI insider said they got an informal assurance from the authorities concerned that the visas will be processed in time.

So the BCCI has called an emergency working committee meeting  to get the formal nod of the committee.

BCCI president Anurag Thakur has an idea to host mini IPL in September which didn’t materialize, the board is keen on a series against the World T20 champions in a country which has a sizeable cricket following.

Meanwhile, the working committee will also discuss the roadmap after the administrative reforms ordered  by the Supreme Court .

The Lodha committee has invited Thakur and secretary Ajay Shirke for a meeting on August 9.

Meanwhile, the SGM will be held on August 5 will chart out BCCI’s reservations about some of the measures as well as plans for amending its rulebook.

This year a few matches of Carribean Premier League (CPL)  have been played in the USA. Matches got a good response from the cricket audience in the US.
