One of the first things Sharad Pawar has been shot down through political tensions. Tax problems have caused the other.

The ICC President had hoped for an early resumption of cricket relations between India and Pakistan. That, however, does not seem possible in the immediate future.
Pawar told mediapersons, "Immediate ties between both countries is not possible. It is not in the hands of the Cricket Boards. It is a diplomatic issue. This is a decision taken by the Indian government."
One of the matters the ICC appeared to be mulling on was moving the ICC headquarters back from Dubai to England. Now that does not seem possible either due to tax issues as Pawar explained, "In England, there are 40 per cent taxes while there are no taxes in Dubai. The moment England thinks similarly about cricket we will consider it."
