New Delhi, May 8
India’s professional cricketers will officially become stakeholders in BCCI’s decision-making policies as the much-awaited players’ association will be officially registered in the next two weeks.
However, as of now, the association may not be a member of the international players’ association (FICA).
The name sent for registration is Indian Cricketers’ Association (ICA) but the BCCI needs to check whether the same name is already registered or not.
“Yes, the work for Indian Cricketers’ Association (ICA) has been sent for registration but first it needs to be checked whether the name is already registered,” Commitee of Administrators chief Vinod Rai said. “Once ICA, or whatever be the name, is registered, the central association will decide on the nominees (men and women) in the apex council,” he added.
Rai also informed that the central association will have its “state chapters”.
But the ICA will not be a part of the FICA like the players’ associations in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa or England.
“No, as of now, the BCCI constitution doesn’t have any clause where the ICA can be a part of FICA,” Rai said.
The functioning of ICA will be independent of BCCI’s functioning and the association will have to generate their own funds even though BCCI will provide with some initial grants. — PTI
