ICC turns down India's request to Sever Ties with Pakistan as member nation

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is said to have turned down a request by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to ‘sever’ ties with member countries which harbour terrorism, saying the ICC was not the appropriate forum to take such decisions.

The letter was sent on February 22 by Rahul Johri, the BCCI chief executive officer, and marked to Shashank Manohar, the ICC chairman, along with ICC CEO David Richardson and the ECB chairman Colin Graves.

The ICC maintained that its primary duty concerned cricket and that the decision to ostracize a nation can be taken at a government-level.

It may be added that the BCCI urged the ICC and its member nations to sever ties with countries that harbor terror.following the Pulwama incident in Indian-occupied Kashmir (IOK),

The governance model too was passed by 8-2 margin.
