The International Cricket Council will not be faulted if they change and call themselves the Indian Cricket Council, because it has now come to pass where the ICC has a penchant to dance to the tune of the BCCI, says an editorial in Sri Lanka's Sunday Observer.
The ICC should have had the backbone to stand straight and tell the guys who were against it, that they are the ones running the game and calling the shots and that the Referral System stays and be played accordingly. But what did the ICC do.? They were as meek as lambs and without a murmur bent backwards to please the cricketers who objected to that system, like they did during the Australia- India series when the Indians threatened to pull out of the series if action was taken against Harbhajan Singh.
