International Cricket Council (ICC) has asked the BCCI to pay USD 23 million (INR 160 crore approx) before the end of 2018 or it could lose the hosting rights of 2021 Champions Trophy and 2023 World Cup, according to a report. The amount demanded by cricket’s governing body relates to the tax deductions when India hosted the 2016 ICC World T20. ICC didn’t get waiver from Indian government and it now wants the Indian cricket board to compensate it for the same. The demand reportedly finds a mention in the minutes of ICC board meeting that took place earlier this year in Singapore. “The ICC hasn’t provided any minutes to the BCCI yet,” The TOI quoted sources as saying.
