Sharjah, March 30 :     As chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Lt General Tauqir Zia has begun its streamlining. Now, he intends doing the same at the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), of which he is president (till 2001). 'Accounts haven't been audited, there's a dispute with Coca-Cola (sponsors of the inaugural Asian Test Championship)... Money which ought to have remained in the UAE has been transferred out... Some Boards have seen turmoil... We do need to be professional,' he pointed out, while interacting with the Media. The mess, it appears, is all Sri Lanka's doing - after all, the presidency rested with the Lankans till last August. Of course, problems within the Lankan Board contributed to the mess. To eliminate this, Lt General Zia accepted a suggestion from The Telegraph that the ACC consider establishing a permanent Secretariat, possibly in Sharjah itself. In any case, as the ACC's funds will be back in the UAE (respecting a decision taken way back in 1983-84), it would make sense having the Secretariat in the Emirates as well. The ACC, which held a special general meeting yesterday, took quite a few decisions. The 'big' ones are: Setting up the Asia Foundation: As reported yesterday, ICC president Jagmohan Dalmiya will head it - he will be chairman. Other members are Lt General Zia, Abdul Rehman Bukhatir, Asif Iqbal and Syed Ashraful Haq. They could have a five-year term. Though the Foundation will focus on fund-raising and development, Lt General Zia insisted it wouldn't be a parallel body to the ACC itself. The 'terms of reference' and other details will be finalised by mid-June, when the ACC meets in London, ahead of the annual ICC conclave. That a Foundation has to be constituted is, in a way, an indictment of the ACC as it exists - and functions. Review of Constitution: The Foundation members will suggest changes. For example, the Constitution has no mention of the finance and development committees. Transfer of funds back to the UAE: It had been decided, in 1983-84 when the ACC came into being, that funds would remain on neutral ground (the UAE). However, in 1998-99, the Lankans transferred it to Colombo and, when Pakistan took charge, the funds were then deposited in Pakistan. Now, the funds will return to the UAE. The funds will be deposited with the bank that offers the 'maximum interest.' Development Committee: Will be headed by either an Indian/Pakistani/Lankan, but its members will exclusively be drawn from among the Associates. The ACC president to decide on its composition. Dispute with Coca-Cola: The multinational hasn't met its Asian Test Championship commitment because the Pakistan team wore the Pepsi logo. For now, the ACC has ruled out litigation as an option, but it could be exercised. In the meantime, efforts will be made to 'amicably' resolve the dispute. For its part, the ACC is making part-payment ($ 400,000) of the guarantee money to the Indian and Lankan Boards. Pakistan, which is at the centre of the row, has decided not to accept its (part) share. Under-15 meet in Malaysia: The ACC has sanctioned $45,000 to the Malaysian Cricket Association for the tournament in mid-June. Asia Cup: The latest edition, being hosted by Bangladesh, will be held between May 28-June 7 (June 8 being the reserve day), not May 28-June 5 as was earlier decided. Also, Bangladesh's participation fee has been hiked to $ 100,000 from $ 60,000. India, Pakistan and Lanka will gain $120,000 each. The Bangladesh Cricket Board, incidentally, will get $ 150,000 for hosting the competition. Future tournaments: The ACC Trophy in the UAE from November 15-24; the next Asia Cup in Pakistan - from April 15-30, 2001. That will feature six teams: India, Pakistan, Lanka, Bangladesh and the ACC Trophy finalists.
