ICC President David Morgan today confirmed he and Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat would meet with representatives of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Indian Cricket League (ICL) on Monday 23 February in Johannesburg.

 

Mr Morgan said he had arranged the meeting to try and bring about a settlement to the long-running dispute between the two parties.

 

“I’ve long regarded it as a priority to bring together the BCCI and the owners of the ICL and I’m pleased to say we have fixed a meeting to take place in Johannesburg on Monday,” he said.

 

“I hope we might be successful in coming to a mutually acceptable conclusion.  I can’t be certain that will be the case but I hope we can at least make a start in bringing about a settlement.

 

“I think this is significant because experience tells me that the best opportunity to solve a dispute is to have the parties face-to-face,” added Mr Morgan.
