"The BCCI President Mr Thakur did verbally ask the ICC to write a letter to the BCCI asking the BCCI to explain whether the recommendations of Lodha Committee might constitute govt interference," ICC CEO Richardson said. "So I understand that Mr. Manohar is reluctant to interfere in the domestic affairs of a member country. "Without being formally requested to intervene, specially without the full consent of the ICC board. "Yes there were other board members present when that request was made by Mr Thakur. As far as I see Mr Thakur actually criticised the ICC for not sending the letter," Richardson said.The BCCI and ICC are at loggerheads over a host of issues after Shashank Manohar took charge as the independent chairman of the world body.
