In this pursuit, and to admire the given closing date, that ICC chairman Shashank Manohar met individuals of the Committee of Administrators (COA) in Mumbai on Monday. Manohar became busy advocating ICC’s interests in the be counted. The CoA, in the meantime, spent a busy day giving Manohar “assurances,” and that is now set to end up every other bickering bankruptcy in its conflict with the participants of BCCI.
