Indians to quit Champions Trophy
India say they will not take part in
the ICC Champions Trophy one-day
tournament after hosting it this year.
The Board of Control for Cricket in
India (BCCI) said the scheduling of the
tournament in October severely reduced
the revenue it could generate.
"We're not free in October in 2007,
2008 or 2009," said BCCI vice-president
Lalit Modi. "We have made our position
clear to the to the ICC many times.
"If others want to play, they can, but
why should we play in October?"
