Former ICC chief Ehsan Mani on Monday slam the Sharad Pawar-led world body for its report move to do go with rotating policy in the meeting of its presidents after 2015.
Reports thought that ICC is arrangement to stop the revolution policy once the term of Pawar`s successor Alan Issac (New Zealand) is over in 2015. ICC is likely to on purpose on the suggestion in its annual general meeting on June 28 in Hong Kong.
Pakistan and Bangladesh would misplace out if the current turning policy is done away with as the two countries are to present their nominees for the post of ICC president and vice-president. Both the two countries are supposedly opposite to the idea of scrap the system.
Mani hinted that the change in rotating policy could be initiate by India so that someone from India could "jump the queue" to the top post.
"I don`t recognize why the ICC wants to change it (the rotational policy). If it is going to be misused I want to ask who are the people behind this," said the former PCB official.
"Sharad Pawar`s term is end next year. The question which can be asked is that if there is anything India want to jump the queue and an Indian receiving the ICC president`s post," he added.
Nine out of 10 Test playing nations have supposedly signed on the ICC`s offer to change the turning policy and Mani termed it unusual.
"I can`t commentary who signed for the proposal or not but it is very unusual. Normally, a proposal be forwarded to the president throughout the chief director and then it is voted by the member countries. But here it seems the suggestion has already been sign before the ICC Board gathering," said Mani who was ICC chief from 2003 to 2006.
Mani accepted that Pakistan has no possibility of its turning the tables if nine member countries have decided to change the turning system as has been reported.
"You need vote by seven members to pass a resolution. So if nine members have previously agreed to the suggestion then it will be difficult for Pakistan," he told `Times Now`.
The rotating policy for the meeting of ICC president was at the centre of a major controversy last year when Australia and New Zealand`s candidate John Howard, a former Prime Minister, was unwanted by the other Boards.
New Zealander Alan Isaac was selected after a massive furore. When the post of ICC president was first twisted in 1996, it was a rotation among Full Members, who would each have a turn in appoint the President.
The order commence with India (Jagmohan Dalmiya), then Australia (Malcolm Gray), Pakistan (Ehsan Mani), South Africa (Percy Sonn). In 2007, the post of vice-president was created and the system was tweak to the current Vice President/President.
Though rotation stays as a policy, nominations now came from pairs of countries: Australia-New Zealand, West Indies-England, India-Sri Lanka, Pakistan-Bangladesh and South Africa-Zimbabwe.
