The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) when they meet on November 9 for their annual general meeting in Mumbai, would have on the agenda, cricket relations with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB).

Two weeks ago president of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB), Dave Cameron and chief executive officer Michael Muirhead met with the president of the BCCI Shashank Manohar and general secretary Anurag Thakur in Mumbai after they visited Sri Lanka for the first two days of the opening Test in Galle.

President Cameron at that point told Guardian Media that the meeting centered around resuming bi-lateral relations between the two boards, after the Indians had severed ties following the aborted tour to India last October. Cameron reported that the meeting went very well and he is awaiting the BCCI response.

One wonders which party's initiative convened these talks.

Most likely hat-in-hand Cameron, I'd wager.

In my opinion that would be acceptable if the Players who were on the Team that were in India prior to the cancellation of the Tour , were selected .

My reason for stating this is that Dwayne Bravo , Pollard & Sammy are household names in India due to their exploits there, in the IPL .

That being the case , it is doubtful if the Indian Cricket fans would go to see the Matches , unless those Guys , and others who have played in
the IPL , are on the proposed Tour .

I am writing here essentially about the number of persons , potentially
going to see these proposed Matches .
Looking at this from the perspective
of Gate Money , etc. the BCCI , I believe , will still be holding the Dirty end of the Stick .

In essence if Bravo ; Pollard ; Sammy ; & others who play in the IPL aint on the Team , the Gate Money aint going
to be as much as if they were on the Team .

That perhaps may bother the BCCI , but
that will never bother this Lot , due to the fact that they are MIMIC MEN ,
striving mightily to imitate those who they inherited the WICBC , steeped in 19th Century thinking .

I am looking forward to hearing responses from the WICBC's Howling Jackals who frequent this Forum .
