India told to pick Champions Trophy squad

The Board of Cricket Control for India have been told to stop stalling and name its ICC Champions Trophy squad immediately.

India's cricket board has been instructed to immediately announce its Champions Trophy squad and end a deliberate delay ahead of the tournament, which begins on June 1.

All seven other teams were announced by the April 25 deadline, but India didn't do it because of a revenue-sharing dispute with the International Cricket Council.

A committee of administrators, appointed by India's Supreme Court to reform Indian cricket in the wake of the Indian Premier League corruption scandal, ordered the Indian cricket board to pick a team.

The committee told the Board of Control for Cricket in India a squad could be submitted to the ICC without prejudice to its legal rights, the Press Trust of India said on Thursday.

The BCCI feels the new ICC formula hurts India's interest as it reduces its revenues from $570 million to $293 million.
