Curtains down on the Champions Trophy issue: India confirms participation

The ongoing feud between the BCCI and the ICC on India’s revenue share has seen an end today as India confirms its participation in the Champions Trophy’17. Having expressed their intension to withdraw from the CT, much suspense was created since a fortnight on India’s hazy participation. Earlier, the BCCI made a statement reading that the officials will meet on May 8 to decide the CT squad but also threatened to pull out if demands went unmet. However, India has decided finally to defend the title that MS Dhoni earned.

A special meeting held in the capital city, New Delhi gave the confirmation regarding India’s participation in the premiere ICC tournament in United Kingdom. As decided  earlier, the BCCI officials and team selectors will declare the Indian squad for CT on Monday, May 8. However, despite some positive news from the Indian cricket board, India’s argument over the revenue model has seen no end. The BCCI is expected to persist on its negotiations with ICC to retain a revenue deal that favours. After a series of warm-up matches, the tournament will commence from June 1 as England take on The Bangladesh Tigers in the opening fixture.
