Published October 6, 2004

ISLAMABAD, Oct 5: International Cricket Council (ICC) will hold its two-day Executive Board meeting in Pakistan this month. The meeting, on Oct 16-17, will likely be held at Qadhafi Stadium, it was officially learnt on Tuesday.

Amongst other points on the agenda, ICC Board will also consider the allegations of racism in cricket. Previously it had been agreed by the players' representative and the ICC that this report would be withheld until after the conclusion of a separate Alternative Dispute Resolution process.

The presiding adjudicators in the racism inquiry, India's Solicitor General, Mr Goolam Vahanvati, and South African High Court Judge, Steven Majiedt, will now consider written submissions from the Zimbabwe Cricket Union (ZCU) and the players. Mr Vahanvati and Judge Majiedt will then compile a report in time for the Oct 16-17 meeting. -APP
