The ICC is believed to have turned down the BCCI’s proposal for member countries to “sever” ties with other members that harbour terrorism, saying the ICC was not the appropriate forum to take such decisions. It is understood that Amitabh Choudhury, the BCCI’s acting secretary and its representative at the ICC Board, did not bring up the letter during the meetings. Manohar raised the topic himself, briefing the Board about receiving the BCCI letter and saying that the ICC’s primary duty concerned cricket. Although there was speculation about the PCB being annoyed at the BCCI letter, none of the Pakistan officials at the ICC meetings are understood to have raised any objection. That included Ehsan Mani, the PCB chairman, who attended the ICC Board meetings over the last two days.
