SHARJAH. Oct 22
Ali Bacher, managing director of the United Cricket Board of South
Africa, arrived Tuesday for a meeting to push for his country's readmission to the World Cup. reports AP.
"We are not going back without an answer." Bacher told the Associated press. "And by my calculations and the indications that I've received from representatives of other member nations already. I should think that tt is virtually through.''
Colin Cowdrey, the chairman of the International Cricket Council, was expected to arrive later in advance of a meeting Wednesday that will also include representatives from the rest of the seven major cricketing nations.
Until now. Cowdrey has held out against South African participation in the upcoming World Cup championship, although the country was admitted to the ICC as a full member In June, after the collapse of the apartheid policy for which tt was ostracized.
But sports officials here said that In Wednesday's meeting. South Africa was virtually guaranteed readmission to the prestigious event scheduled for February.
Australia and New Zealand, co-hosts of the event, have already made arrangements to include South Africa in the tournament, they said.
Bacher is accompanied by South African cricket board President Geoff Dakin. Vice-President Krlsh MackerdhuJ and executive member Percy Soon.
Most of the cricketing nations have advocated the inclusion of South Africa into the World Cup. Only the West Indies. India and Pakistan have yet to put their stamp of approval on the concept.
The three nations arc coincidentally represented In this southern Gulf emirate for the Wills Trophy cricket championship that ends on Friday.
The West Indies have indicated that they might go along with the majority at tomor row’s meeting, while Pakistan have opted to keep arj open mind on the issue.” Bacher said
India had proposed South Africa be drawn into the ICC fold in the June meeting in London.
Tt would be illogical for India not to support us now because they had proposed us back Into the ICC. which was of a great significance, both cricket and politics wise," he said
"We have been .speaking with Madhavrao Scindia (Indian cricket board president). Steve Camacho (West Indies), Tyronne Fernando (Sri Lanka). Gen. (Zahid) Akhtar (Pakistan) and have got fairly favorable replies." he said.
Nelson Mandela's African National Congress has been supporting the South African team for the World Cup. while heads of the Corhmonwealth governments spoke in favor of the country's participation at the Harare conference last week.
The ANC has been out there, batting for us because the UCBSA has a strong role to play to bring South Africa back Into the world, not Just in cricket but politically," Bacher said.
"I think the world of cricket has not yet comprehended fully the pace of events in the past three-to-four months in our country. I'm not saying we have no problems but we are trying and the chance to play In the World Cup will help everybody." he commented.
