The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has paid the International Cricket Council (ICC) around Rs 2.4 crore for various charges incurred for the Indian squad carrying 'additional team members' during the ICC World Cup 2015 held earlier this year.
Mumbai pacer, Dhawal Kulkarni, was one of the additional members of the Indian squad during the World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand. ICC rules permit only 15 members to be registered as players for the World Cup. India, therefore, had listed pacer Kulkarni, who stayed on with the squad at the conclusion of the preceding ODI tri-series, as part of the team management, according to reports.
The amount was paid to ICC as payment towards "airfare, accommodation, per diem and catering charges incurred for additional team members during the World Cup," the note on the board's website said. The BCCI has also paid the world cricket body an additional amount of USD 3,80,000 "towards ACSU services for IPL 2015."
The BCCI has listed the amounts paid towards reimbursement of infrastructure subsidy claims to Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) (Rs 11.20 crore) and Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) (Rs 67 lakh).
