Sport - World Cup   

"Sort out fines systems"

Indian cricket board president Jagmohan Dalmiya on Thursday called for the International Cricket Council (ICC) to be even-handed in the way it enforced financial penalties.

India was told before the World Cup it would be having a portion of its proceeds withheld following the players' decision to alter the terms of their tournament contracts.

But Dalmiya, speaking to reporters during India's day-night World Cup semifinal against Kenya, said the ICC would also have to be equally firm with England and New Zealand who forfeited World Cup matches in Zimbabwe and Kenya respectively and so risked potential financial penalties.

``This has got to be sorted out. We can't go on like this,'' said Dalmiya ahead of a two-day ICC executive board meeting in Johannesburg starting on Friday.

``But what applies to one must apply to all,'' added Dalmiya, a former president of the ICC.
