As the ICC authorities are now engaged with the law enforcement authorities in the US, they are tight-lipped over the matter but it has come to light that the total amount of $ 2.5 million is a result of multiple instances of being cheated. It brings to the spotlight the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and of his department in the Dubai office of ICC.
For a full member like the BCCI, $ 2.5 million is not a major amount but the quantum of loss is equivalent to four times of the grant an Associate member with ODI status earns every year from the ICC. Said an official of an Associate board, “It can’t be true,” and then added, “An ODI Associate 13-20 ranked can get anything between 500,000 to one million.” The incident came to light on Thursday night.
