The Indian board's decision to take on the ICC could split the cricket world, warns Mike Coward in The Australian. Launching a scathing attack on the BCCI, he says it has become "drunk with power", and its "behaviour is becoming increasingly reckless and potentially destructive".
Indeed, no longer can it be taken for granted that the international cricket family will be together after what is bound to be one of the most rancorous meetings in the ICC's 97-year history in Mumbai on November 3 and 4. If the puffed-up, cashed-up Indian powerbrokers reckon they can prosper without Australia and England they may just opt to leave the fold.
