Gavaskar's dual role as chairman of the ICC's Cricket Committee and columnist has created trouble for him from ICC. It is obvious that the ICC did not like his open and honest comments against Australia during the India's Down Under Series.
His position came up for discussion at the ICC Board Meeting in Dubai last week and Malcom Speed, the ICC Chief Executive was authorised to take up the matter with Gavaskar. This will be discussed in detail during this week's meeting in Dubai.
Though no decision is taken in this matter, it is Gavaskar who has to decide between the two. The matter got his attention when he termed Match Referee Mike Proctor as Racist though he denied that.
However, after the ICC's meeting in Dubai last week, Gavaskar slammed England and Australia in another syndicated newspaper column. "Gone are the days when two countries, England and Australia, had the veto power in international cricket, even though the dinosaurs may not open their eyes and see the reality," he wrote. "The cricketing world has found that India has no longer a diffident voice but a confident one that knows what is good for its cricket, and will strive to get it."
What will he do...wait and see!!
