BCCI objections put Champions Trophy in doubt, again

The ICC on Thursday admitted that some cricket boards, especially the BCCI and Cricket Australia have objected to the staging of the postponed Champions Trophy in October next year but said Pakistan still retained the right to host the prestigious tournament.

India had objected to that date because of its series against Australia the same month and ICC President David Morgan told reporters at a press conference here that there was still disagreement over the ICC’s plan to hold the tournament in October 2009.
