June 21: The Federation of International Cricketers' Association, a players' body that the monopolistic BCCI does not recognise, has appointed former Australian cricketer Lisa Sthalekar as its president.
The appointment was made official at the FICA executive committee meeting held in Nyon, Switzerland, this week.
Sthalekar is the first woman president of FICA as she joins the list of past players who have been FICA presidents since its formation, including Barry Richards, Jimmy Adams and most recently Vikram Solanki.
