India have been penciled as one of many 4 collaborating sides within the four-Nations T20 Super League Series proposal, which Ramiz plans to desk on the April 10 ICC Board assembly in Dubai.
Australia and England are the opposite collaborating sides within the proposal, which, if goes by way of, will see the Asian neighbours compete on the highest degree on an annual foundation.
The occasion host, the idea (white) paper says, shall be determined amongst the 4 contributors, with every collaborating facet to stage the event on a rotation foundation with ICC like its different international occasions working the event.
However it has been learnt that BCCI is unlikely to relent.
“Our Futures Tours & Programme (FTP) is packed. Also the truth that there are lot of things and as of now, there isn’t a change in coverage of taking part in them at ICC occasions. Also, we don’t assume ICC shall be prepared to prepare a four-nation and Raja’s proposal shall be turned down,” a senior BCCI official said.

“The calender is choc-a-bloc and also we need to keep players physical and mental health in mind with so much of cricket being played,’ the official said.
According to proposal prepared by Ramiz, “the quadrangular series will be played on a single-league basis around September/October, which is a low cricket period due to the eve of cricket seasons in Australia, India and Pakistan, and the tail-end of the cricket season in England.
“The proposal suggests a potential revenue of USD 750 million, which the PCB boss wants to be distributed amongst the participating nations and other ICC members through a distribution model,” a PCB supply advised PTI.
While Ramiz needs ICC to be the organizers of such an occasion, PCB sources really feel that it’s going to by no means undermine the worldwide occasions.
