The selectors decided this at a meeting on Friday night.

We have not decided anything regarding not participating in future Champions Trophy tournaments.

This is PILCOM and chained to accounts of World Cup 1996.

It is not just the BCCI that is opposing the Champions Trophy. The PCB has also opposed it through a letter to the ICC, saying that it does not want any tournaments, including the Champions...

The normal practice is to select a 15-member squad. If the selectors decide to have an additional member, then the approval of the BCCI is needed.

It is nothing. If some members (of the board) want to speak to the press about it, we can’t do anything.

We have contracted 15 players with eight in grade A, four in grade B and the rest in grade C.

The ICC should confine itself to the World Cup in every four years and at the most should be limited to Under-19 tournaments. We believe this, and can always put forth our point before the...

If we win the series against England and we think some players have to be rested then we may consider other names also.

We are struggling to give three suitable venues to the ICC for the tournament.

We thought it would do them good to have match practice before the tough series, especially as they are unlikely to play in the warm-up game in Lahore.

The aim of this phase is allow tissue healing and for the repair sites to fully bind without too much stress on these areas. It is also important to maintain freedom of movement of those...

The squad, which comprises an extra player as against the conventional 15, was announced only for the three-match Test series beginning Jan 14 in Lahore.

We will continue to oppose the Champions Trophy.

Everything is in place and we are hugely optimistic of taking the World Cup.

It’s a very important tour for the team and the players would have a chance to get experience of weather and wickets there.

We are very clear that we will not participate in the Twenty20 championship and no one can force us to play. We have also sought support from Sri Lanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

He has progressed at a rate anticipated by both the surgeon and myself to this point.

Our basic complaint is if England and Australia can plan regular home series every year, why should we not plan. India is a major force.

I will talk to the board president and then issue guidelines to Chappell.

We are not going to write to anyone seeking explanation. What can we do if he doesn’t play.

We have received the acknowledgement from Chappell.

We are looking at proposals for more contact between the two countries but we haven’t made any decisions.

When allegations of such a serious nature have been made, they need to be probed. If nothing comes out, then that will be the end of it. We are only trying to find out the...

There are certain guidelines that over a period of 10 years you must play each other on a home and away basis. That is it. How many you play extra is up to countries to...

We have been requesting for details of accounting transactions but have not got satisfactory answers.

We are not going to ask for an explanation. What can we do if he does not play?
