India and Pakistan lock horns over the election process in International Cricket Council boardroom. Due to this ICC has not been able to take a decision in this regard. A section of the ICC's members, aided by participants in their ecosystem and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), insist that the ICC's new chairperson should be elected on basis of a 2/3rd majority while most member boards - including India, England and Australia - believe an election should take place through a simple majority. A 2/3rd majority to elect the new chair will mean any potential contender will require 12 votes whereas, in a simple majority, anybody who gets nine votes will win," say sources. The governing body stands divided with 11 members, including India, England, Australia, South Africa and seven others on one side and interim chairman Imran Khwaja, independent director Indra Nooyi, three associated members and PCB on the other.
