"The meeting between the ICC and BCCI, which was on the cards, will be held on Monday, December 9, in Kolkata," BCCI president Jagmohan Dalmiya said in a statement on Thursday.

The ICC will be represented by Zimbabwe's Justice Ahmed Ebrahim, who is a member of the World Cup contracts committee and Dave Richardson, the world body's general manager.

Dalmiya and leg-spinner Anil Kumble, who will give the players' viewpoint, will represent India, the statement added.

The meeting will try to find a solution to a dispute over the ICC's World Cup participation contract, chiefly its controversial player images and ambush marketing clauses.

The player terms, which will apply for all ICC events until 2007, were drawn up following a deal with the ruling body's marketing partner Global Cricket Corporation worth $550 million.

Leading players from many Test countries, particularly India where leading players like captain Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar command lucrative personal endorsements, are opposing them as they feel it damages with their deals with companies seen to be in conflict with official World Cup sponsors.

The 12-team Champions Trophy in Colombo in September was preceded by a major row after players from several Test countries refused to sign a similar contract over the player terms before most of them, barring India, agreed to sign up.

The ICC settled the issue by relaxing some of the conditions to ensure the participation of leading Indian players.

Dalmiya said he had discussed the issue with Indian players on the eve of their departure for a Test and one-day series in New Zealand.

The World Cup is scheduled for February-March next year.
