Pay $23 million or lose 2023 WC: ICC to BCCI

The ICC has asked the BCCI to cough up US $23 million (roughly Rs 160 crore) before Dec 31 to compensate for tax deductions incurred in hosting the 2016 World T20. The ICC has threatened that should India fail to comply, the governing body will look at “other options” to host 2021 Champions Trophy and 2023 50-over World Cup, scheduled to be played in India.
