The on-going fight between the International Crciket Council and the Board of Control for Cricket in India came to an end on Saturday, with the BCCI agreeing to sign the Members Participation Agreement (MPA).

"All outstanding issues with regards to the MPA have been resolved. BCCI's issues have also been resolved and they are satisfied. We all can move forward now," ICC President Percy Sonn told reporters after the two-day meeting held in Mumbai.

ICC management will now write to the Full Member Chief Executives to confirm the new draft of the agreement.

Also, the BCCI has agreed to withdraw its bid for the broadcast rights for ICC Events from 2007-2015 after a legal opinion that indicated it would be a conflict of interest.
