Cricket Council- We Want to play cricket more better

The international cricket council is now working for the upcoming Tours Programme. This program is the backbone for the game’s diary for the year 2012 till 2020.

The chairman of ICC Mr. David Morgan stated that at present teams have to play each other twice over a six cycle but that could not be reduced to once.

Conversely the Federation of ICA has to recap its demand of test cricket for the survive. The main issue with the ICC model is that the capacity of cricket is reduced because the window pane has been carved out for champion League and IPL. International cricket will only be able to be planned in 42 of the weeks of the year, rather than 52,” said Tim May, chief executive of Fica.

The argue comes just 24 hours after the Indian board morsel a scheduled three-Test series against South Africa next spring in favour of a seven-match one-day sequence.

Both boards blamed a scheduling pile-up but sources have indicated the decreasing support for Test cricket in the sub-continent, from fans, support and broadcasters, was behind the move, despite the fact the series would have seen the top two teams in the Test rankings go head-to-head.

Last month Fica proposed the introduction of a prepared Test championship which would avoid boards from changing stuff at the last minute.
