Pawar could be next ICC boss


The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Monday claimed that it had enough support to get its president Sharad Pawar elected as the head of International Cricket Council (ICC).

"Our (BCCI) president becoming ICC president is very important. Cricket is highest popular game in India so why not a president from India," said BCCI secretary Nirajan Shah.

"Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and South Africa are supporting Pawar so why should the next ICC president not be from India," he added.
