"The BCCI has been around for a long time. They have been controlling cricket in this country for ages. I would like to speak to them on their registration with the ministry," he said.

Maken's remark came after the BCCI Tuesday called themselves an "autonomous" body affiliated only with the International Cricket Council (ICC). Earlier, the BCCI failed to submit documents required for the affiliation and the ministry subsequently withdrew customs duty exemption on cricket goods imported by the board or its certified bodies.
