Union Minister and former BCCI President Sharad Pawar today rubbished suggestions that rejection of John Howard's Candidacy for the ICC vice-President's post would divide world cricket. Mr Pawar arrived in Mumbai from Singapore after formally taking over as the ICC President. Upon arrival, the Union Agriculture minister was bombarded with questions about Asian bloc's refusal to back former Australian premier John Howard. Mr Pawar rejected talk of any divide by insisting that the former Australian Prime Minister just didn't get enough support in a democratically-held election. Asked what he considers the biggest challenge of his new job, Mr Pawar said, he has to preserve all the formats of the game.
