Actually I agree with the ICC on this one.. I think a game of cricket should have a proper result whenever it's possible. If a team is within 10-15 mins of victory , I think stopping for bad light is stupid.. especially when it's a 5 day game! whether it is done using floodlights or a different ball, the team winning should be given the best chance to finish the game if there are a still some overs left in the day.

ICC did ask teams if they want to continue with floodlights. But the teams refused saying red ball is not visible under lights. And that's why they have now suggested a yellow ball.
I don't see what's wrong in it.
But IMO they should just bring a rule to allow play under lights for a certain short duration with the same ball.

Cricket's 'Big Three' under big pressure as the International Cricket Council faces threat of rebellion
A year after voting for changes that empowered England, India and Australia, Pakistan voted for amendments to be made to the ICC's constitution

The International Cricket Council is facing the threat of open rebellion a little more than year after voting through changes that empowered England, India and Australia to run the world game.
The so called “Big Three” now enjoy increased revenue share and total control following constitutional changes agreed last year but the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board has revealed a growing split in the world game that looks set to be brought to a head by his country’s failed attempts to organise a tour against India in December.
Pakistan voted for the changes to the ICC’s constitution after being promised six lucrative series against India over an eight year period but there is a sense they were duped by an the Indian board that knew its own government would not allow cricketing ties between the two countries to resume.
Pakistan are in favour of changes to the ICC's constitution
Talks between India and Pakistan over a series to be held in December were cancelled this week after far right Hindu extremists stormed the office of the Indian cricket board in Mumbai.
It leaves Giles Clarke, the president of the England & Wales Cricket Board, facing the threat of having to renegotiate a fairer and more democratic constitution, and therefore conceivably less money for England and
India, if as expected he takes over as chairman of the ICC later this year.
“We signed the new constitution on the understanding that India would play us six times in eight years. This was the inducement to us to drop our opposition and for the ICC to have a unanimous agreement," Shahrayar
Khan, chairman of the PCB, told Telegraph Sport. “Now we are now facing the problem if India does not play.
It not only goes against MoU they signed but also the understanding on which we signed the new constitution.
“I know apart from Pakistan there are other countries not happy with this unequal treatment within the ICC board. It is unequal and undemocratic. But we signed it so we had to accept it. But within a year if treatment is not the same for each country then I think Pakistan will have to consider what to do about it. What can we do? There are other countries that feel like this. Anything is possible. I think the deal can be undone if the big three themselves feel this is not getting the work done.”
Giles Clarke is expected to take over as chairman of the ICC
As a career diplomat, and one who was ambassador to France and Great Britain, Khan will have measured words carefully, particularly given the tense situation between India and Pakistan. He has given India a week to confirm the series against Pakistan in December.
He also warned Pakistan could pull out of the World Twenty20, due to be played in India next year, over security concerns. This week the Pakistani umpire, Aleem Dar, was pulled out of a match in Mumbai after the ICC could not guarantee his safety.
“I have a feeling our government is going to say to us that even if you want to go the security situation is such you cannot go,” he said. “It becomes a force majeure if the government says you cannot go. The atmosphere is very hostile to Pakistan now.”

what rebellion lol the boards will fall at india's feet the minute they offer a tour
10-29-2015, 10:35 PM
Ind - Pak is a separate issue. Highly doubt other countries would back a rebellion. BD is forever hosting Asia cups. SL get tours to and from India
Ind Pak is a political issue. Seems like they are trying to use it make it a bigger issue than it is
Good luck.

Quote:Anurag Thakur, the BCCI secretary, has made a number of proposals to revive the Asian Cricket Council which had its operations in Malaysia shut down on June 30, 2015. The proposals were "welcomed and approved" by the executive body of the regional association which held a meeting on October 27 in Singapore, supposedly the new home of the ACC's downsized headquarters from 2016.
Thakur proposed that the four Test nations from Asia should contribute two per cent of their annual income to the ACC. He also proposed a one-day tournament involving second-string teams from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh and the senior teams of the emerging nations.
"The Asian Test nations like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh will send their A sides with three players mandatory from the senior side," Thakur told PTI. "The Associate nations like Nepal, Afghanistan and Oman will play their first teams. This is an endeavour to make the Asian bloc in cricket stronger. The more they will play against the Test nations, they will become far more competitive."
Thakur also said that the next BCCI AGM will discuss his proposal to set up the ACC's Centre of Excellence in Dharamsala.
Awesome for Associates if approved.

Best thing for BCCI is to change from within
Thakur - Manohar could be an interesting duo
