The Committee of Administrators head Vinod Rai yesterday made it clear that BCCI office-bearers are not mandated to take any decision on India's Champions Trophy participation without the COA's approval.

Rai's comments came amid continuing speculation on India's Champions Trophy participation after the BCCI was outvoted on its opposition to a revamped revenue and governance model of the ICC. "Yes, we have issued an instruction that any decision regarding the ICC revenue model should only be taken at the Special General Meeting (SGM). But the BCCI units have been told that they cannot issue any legal notice to the ICC with regards to Champions Trophy pull-out without our prior approval," Rai said.
