The International Cricket Council officials have been forced to look into their
constitution and regulations to find out who will automatically succeed President,
Percy Sonn who has fallen seriously ill in Cape Town.
According to South African newspapers his personal assistant George Hector
said, "He (Sonn) is in the same condition. He is still serious, stable but
unchanged." Sonn had fallen ill after suffering from complications after
being admitted to a clinic to undergo a minor colon operation.
Sources in the Pakistan Cricket Board said that with
the outlook on Sonn not bright, the ICC was now working out who would
replace him immediately in case of any emergency.
"Apparently there is no mention in the ICC constitution
what will happen in such a situation and there is also no elected Vice-president
in the world body at the moment who can automatically take over this post in
emergency," said one source.
The interesting thing is that the ICC members have even deferred
a decision on the next President of the ICC who will be elected next year.
