The dispute intensified when India failed to submit a squad for the one-day international tournament by an Apr 25 deadline after its cricket board (BCCI) was unable to stall a new income model being adopted by the International Cricket Council (ICC). "The BCCI... unanimously decided that the Indian cricket team will participate in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. "The ICC welcomes the unanimous decision from the BCCI special general meeting this morning to confirm the participation of defending champions India in next month's Champions Trophy," the ICC said in a statement to Reuters. "We are glad that we have achieved that and the team will play in the Champions Trophy." The top eight sides in the world rankings compete in the Champions Trophy with India winning the last edition in 2013.
