This release is significant in what it doesn't say....
"A need to recognise the varying contribution of Full Members to the value of ICC events through the payment of 'contribution costs'. The establishment of an Executive Committee (ExCo) and Financial & Commercial Affairs Committee (F&CA) to provide leadership at an operational level, with five members, including BCCI, CA and ECB representatives. Anybody from within the Board can be elected to Chair the Board and anybody from within ExCo and F&CA can be elected to Chair those Committees. With the ICC undergoing a transitional period that includes a new governance structure and media rights cycle, this leadership will be provided for two years from June 2014 by: a BCCI representative to Chair the ICC Board, a CA representative to Chair the ExCo and an ECB representative to Chair the F&CA."
It sounds like the financial changes have been introduced by the back door. I wait with bated breath to see the actual document itself approved by this meeting. Sadly, it seems that not enough boards had the guts to stand up to the Big Three of BCCI, ECB and CA....
When cricket continues to decline in WI and NZ, and when rugby and football take over from cricket in SA, and people ask, "Why," we can look back on this day. India, England and Australia can go on playing cricket among themselves, throwing scraps to Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, and we can all forget about expanding cricket into other developing nations.
The WiCB attempt to justify their support of this:
