The International Cricket Council is yet to make any claim of compensation from the Indian cricket board for alleged violation of sponsorship rights of the World Cup.
"We are yet to hear from ICC or IDI on compensation claims. I think no sponsor has made any claim so far," Board of Control for Cricket in India president Jagmohan Dalmiya told rediff.com on Thursday.
Dalmiya said he is anxiously waiting for the World Cup guarantee money due to the BCCI, which the ICC has withheld.
The participating countries are to get a share of the sponsorship revenues generated through Indian sponsors -- Hero Honda, Pepsi and LG Electronics India Pvt. Ltd. South African Airways was the other sponsor.
The ICC had accepted substantially relaxed terms offered by the players on the condition that it would not release India's guarantee money of $8-9 million till the issue is resolved by arbitration.
The BCCI and ICC had agreed to resolve the compensation claims, is any, of sponsors through the Court of Arbitration in Laussane, in Switzerland.
However, all parties are now keeping the sponsorship issue under wraps and the matter is expected to figure prominently in ICC's working committee meeting in London in July.
The BCCI is bound by the ICC's Participating Nations Agreement (PNA).
The Players' Terms, which were selectively rejected by the Indian players, prohibited cricketers from endorsing products of a rival of the official sponsors.
