The Indian cricket board's acting secretary Amitabh Choudhary Monday washed his hands off the BCCI letter that urged the ICC and its member nations to sever ties with countries which harbour terror, side-stepping queries on whether it was prudent to raise the issue.

The BCCI's request was turned down by the International Cricket Council (ICC), saying it has no role to play in matters like these.

Choudhary, asked at the press conference here to announce Tata Motors' Harrier as the IPL's official partner, whether it was a mistake not to have named Pakistan specifically in the letter, said," I have not written the letter."
"The only member of the ICC which has so far resisted it, and for reasons well known, is the BCCI and therefore there is a slight urgency on that matter. The ICC has been informed and the ICC chairman is of the view that he will soon have a dialogue with the BCCI itself considering the urgency of the matter lest the ICC be declared non compliant."
