BCCI president N Srinivasan has said that the Indian board will not support the restructuring of the ICC as recommended by the Woolf report.

An independent governance review of the ICC headed by Lord Woolf suggested sweeping changes to the game's administration, and in particular recommended a series of changes to the ICC's executive board in a bid to decentralise power.

The Woolf review acknowledged that the higher earning boards, such as the BCCI, held too much sway within the ICC board, and called for the introduction of independent directors to make the board as a whole more independent.

However the BCCI's working committee have expressed their opposition to the plan, which will be discussed during the next meeting of the ICC executive board in April.

"The working committee discussed all the main recommendations of the report submitted to the ICC by a committee headed by Lord Woolf. The working committee was of the opinion that these recommendations were not acceptable and rejected it," Srinivasan said after the BCCI meeting in Chennai.

"The working committee was in particular not agreeable to the changes in the structure of the management of ICC that had been proposed."

One of the report's recommendations was that an ICC director should not concurrently hold any leadership or executive post with their home boards, meaning Srinivasan would be directly affected.

Srinivasan is currently both an ICC director and president of the Indian board, but would have to give up one of the roles if the Woolf report's recommendations were adopted by the ICC.
