RE: ICC/MCC News Thread - Bada - 09-09-2016
Changes to be considered
Tests
- Present FTP arrangements to be maintained but a Test Championship playoff between the top two teams to be played every two years, most likely hosted at a neutral venue
- Playoff added to calendar as early as 2019
- Teams to retain individual responsibility to negotiate for Test series with other nations
ODIs and T20s
- ODI league structure to be implemented in time to feature qualifying for 2023 World Cup
- League to be played out over three years with 13 countries to play each other in at least one series in that time
- Final year of cycle to feature World Cup qualification playoffs for teams that do not automatically qualify
- Similar T20 league structure to be introduced
- Limited-overs series lengths to be standardised as three ODIs and three T20s
RE: ICC/MCC News Thread - pj57 - 09-09-2016
Why can't they standardize the length of a test series to three tests as well. Two test series are just a waste of time.
RE: ICC/MCC News Thread - Bada - 09-09-2016
I guess not many sides want to host BAN and ZIM for 3 Tests. Even the recent SA v NZ series was short

Flawed ranking system is going to be a problem now that it's going to be the top 2 in a play-off for the Test title. Sides that play more home matches are likely to qualify for that. The best all-round sides don't always get to the top positions. ENG at #4 while IND are #2 is a good example.

Could all cricket be sold as one TV package?

BCCI president Anurag Thakur has said the board is being "arm-twisted" on two fronts: as a result of the Lodha committee's recommendations for structural reform, and due to the change at the top of the ICC, where Shashank Manohar has taken charge as the independent chairman. Thakur also took exception to Manohar's remarks that his priorities lay with the ICC and not the BCCI. Manohar had suggested that it wasn't his responsibility but that of the BCCI representative to look after the board's interest at the ICC table.
"I think these [Lodha] recommendations and [the] change in ICC [regime] are arm-twisting BCCI both at home and at the ICC which is not good for Indian cricket," Thakur said. "The situation of BCCI - a global leader till the recommendation of the Lodha committee… now with the new ICC regime they are trying to sideline the BCCI, one of the most important stakeholders in global cricket today. Just [because of] one recommendation, we are not taken seriously."
Thakur, who is in Greater Noida to watch the final of the Duleep Trophy, told reporters that the BCCI, by virtue of being a "global leader", had an obligation to look after the interest of smaller boards. He reiterated the BCCI's concerns over the budget for next year's Champions Trophy in England, which the Indian board felt was three times as much as what was allotted to India for the World T20 earlier this year.
"Yes, BCCI should look after its interests, but BCCI does not only limit itself to look after BCCI's interests," Thakur said. "If he [Manohar] is saying that he has got nothing to do with the BCCI, BCCI is one of the 105 members and one of the most important stakeholders of the ICC today. And, that is why we have raised the issue - when the others kept mum - that we want to go through the Champions Trophy budget.
"Compare the World [T20] Cup with the Champions Trophy - we had 56 matches, Champions Trophy has close to 15 matches; we had eight venues, they had only three venues; it was a 49-day event and the Champions Trophy is only a 20-day event. So the per-match cost is three times higher. Every single penny saved is every single penny earned, not only for BCCI but for 105 countries.
"When you talk about the two-tier Test system, BCCI could have got benefits by joining hands with those associations like Australia and England, but we stood by countries like Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and to an extent like West Indies."
Thakur questioned Manohar's motives for amending the ICC constitution, which played a part in his being elected unopposed as the first independent chairman of the world body. He contended that Manohar hadn't taken all members into confidence before the amendments were made.
"Mr Shashank Manohar was on the board to make certain changes, amendments. As the president of the board he should have taken into confidence all the BCCI members which he did not," he said. "The amendments were made and he became the independent chairman. Once he has become the independent chairman, he left the BCCI when BCCI needed him the most."

Aww BCCI playing Robin Hood now.
RE: ICC/MCC News Thread - cricketrulez - 09-11-2016
So What I have been saying for while is coming true. the goal of rest of ICC is to loot BCCI/India's money. Now they think they can do it becos they have a patsy in manohar.
I hope this means BCCI will walk away from ICC.
So how about a little rep for being right all along.
