The three-hour meeting attended by ICC President David Morgan, Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat, BCCI Secretary N Srinivasan, Chairman of the Essel Group, which bankrolls the rebel league, Subhash Chandra and ICL's Business Head Himanshu Mody failed to reach an agreement on Monday.
Later the ICC said in a statement that no further meeting was planned and the issue would now be discussed in the ICC Board meeting in Dubai.
"No further discussions are scheduled and, as a result, the ICL's application to be recognised by the ICC as unofficial cricket will go back before the ICC Board at its April meeting in Dubai," the statement read.
ICC President David Morgan felt it was unfortunate that no solution came out of it and said, "I am grateful to all parties for coming together with the best of intentions and the discussions took place in a friendly and cordial manner but, unfortunately, we were not able to come to a successful conclusion in our discussions." He, however, was happy that the "discussions took place without prejudice".

Mr David Morgan, ICC President speaks like a Politician on the isse of BCCI ICL. It is very difficult to understand if the intensions of both the parties BCCI and ICL were best how that they could not reach to any solution? It is NOT interest of cricket but the Prolobhan of money and only money which I feel and understand that was the prime reason that deminated to theunfortunate end result that they could not reach to a decision of CRICKET interest. Why the management of sports and games rest in the hands of Politicians and those who can not lift a Bat and throw a boll? It is the money of we Indians on whose cost these Cricket Administrators are enjoying alll benefits and life of lords. Govt. of India and specially the Prime Minister of India should look into the right cause and right interest of better Cricket, not that he should be made BCCI President or ICL Cricket body Head.
