Draft will need 'extraordinary majority' to be passed - ICC vice-president
Mustafa Kamal, the ICC vice-president, has said an "extraordinary majority" will be required to approve ICC Finance & Commercial Affairs working group's increasingly controversial draft proposal. He does not believe, at this stage, that it would be right to bring such changes to the world of cricket.
Kamal was apparently not present at the meeting in which the proposal was first discussed during the January 9 meeting. He said that it would take a long time for such a revamp to take place. He doesn't think it would happen at such short notice, though there are reasons to believe that it will be the main topic of discussion at the January 29 ICC meeting.
"One must also remember that there are clauses that one will have to follow for making amendment to the constitution," Kamal told ESPNcricinfo. "They will need an extraordinary majority to make the amendments. There are so many discussions that will have to take place before such things happen. It is a long path.
"Anything that will affect the world of cricket should not be done," he said. "Cricket progressed a lot in the last decade, in terms of popularity, revenue and administration. I think it won't be right to bring changes."
His veiled stance against the draft proposal is a fair reflection of opinions in his home country, Bangladesh, and indicative of how rest of the ICC feels about it. Kamal said that he has discussed the matter with other board members, who have expressed similar surprise at what has been put in front of them.
"I have talked to members of different boards from around the globe and they are surprised too," he said. "No one had an idea of this proposal.
"I don't even regard this as a proposal at this stage, until it comes to me as a proposal in official form. I have no further comments to make."
Dave Richardson, the ICC chief executive, had said that the ICC was still considering the submission. "These are just recommendations that they have put together, it's by our working group of members of our financing and commercial affairs committee. They are representatives from England, Australia and India," Richardson told EWN Sport on January 22. "They have put these proposals together and those proposals are still to be discussed in full by our finance committee as an example and the full ICC board when it meets at the end of January.
"So at this stage it's far too premature for the ICC to make any comment on the content of the proposals because as we speak, we're still going through them, getting further clarifications, finding out exactly what is intended and then hopefully we will be able to have proper discussion about these at the board meeting at the end of the month."

At least he said something.... as much as everyone hates him, He is still a well wisher of our cricket. He might not make a difference or put his job on the line to stop this deal, i still respect his voice. Thanks Lotus Kamal

Well, I would say Mr. Kamal has showed his courage by speaking the above interview with Cricinfo.
He has batted better than our some of the so called ex-players who are currently representing BCB!

Kamal showed more care and passion than our 3 ex captains turned directors. Papon is much worse.

Unbelievable. Even a total gooseberry like Kamal has more guts than the entire BCB.
I can't say I respect him, but I hate him marginally less now.

I have been getting more and more respect for Mr. Kamal every month since he left.
He spoke at a really critical time, when the entire Board bar three have shown cowardice against the might of the cricket goliaths. We do need more such statements. Maybe one for the ACC chairman (?) will help.
I really do not see any logic behind us going along with the ICC, thukku BCCI proposal.

Not so fast guys!!
The thing is they will get the extra ordinary majority.
They already have 4 (include NZ). WI, SL and Pak WILL BE ALL ABOARD because India said they would schedule bi-lateral series with the top 8 (EIGHT). That is your lucky 7.
The only hold out South Africa.

Lotus does not know his arse from his elbow. His incompetence is matched by Papon.

Whether you love him or hate him, you have to give credit to Lotus Kamal for that.
I was more dispointed to those three ex-players than papon. Papon is an outsider and I am not 100% sure eventually what he will do, but as an ex-player how can you vote for that?

Exactly what should I give Lotus credit for? Saying that the draft proposal won't be discussed at the ICC meeting, as far as he knows, because it's not on the official agenda yet?
Having read the Cricinfo interview with Lotus, I get the impression that he is as clueless as he looks.

Don't forget India made it personal with Haroon Lorgat. They want to teach the CSA a lesson for picking him. Almost cancelled the series. I know what will happen. Money will trump everything. SA will come aboard too. They won't lose any series. They are not in a threat to be relegated. But, I can assure you Lorgat will be excused eventually.

I don't think so. I disagree. I hope nothing bad will happen to us. I will wait.

Concur with above. He's not showing balls....he's just not using his brain. He thought he said something positive in favor of BCCI.
To be honest though, he might have just spoke his mind without knowing the consequence. Like Shakibrules, I also now hate him less.

+1.
This guy doesn't even have any actual power. Do we really think, anyone gives a crap about he is saying? He was suppose to be the president, and than they removed the position and made up a position with no real power. Also, are we forgetting the 'game' he played, in order to get that office in Dubai?

Lotus can say that because he's speaking as an ICC rep and not on behalf of thr BCB.
