Summary ICC announced on Wednesday it had deferred its decision on whether to scrap rotational presidency.
The decision, taken by Crickets world governing body, spares the blushes of officials hoping to avoid a divisive battle over the issue, with the International Cricket Council (ICC) keen to present a united front as it wraps up its first annual conference in Hong Kong.The board decided to defer the proposed constitutional amendment to the nominations process for election of the ICC president and accordingly withdrew its proposal to the annual conference in this regard, the ICC said in a statement.Any big changes would have met fierce opposition from Pakistan and Bangladesh, who are scheduled to nominate the bodys next-but-one leader to succeed New Zealander Alan Isaac in 2014.
