MUMBAI:
The ICC Chief Executives’ Committee (CEC) will meet in
Johannesburg on Monday and Tuesday.
Apart
from the discussions on volume of cricket, umpires’ task
force, report on ICC Cricket World Cup, proposals for Stanford
Twenty20 event and matches in South Africa during the Apartheid
era, the CEC will also discuss the implications of the Indian
Cricket League (ICL).
The
CEC will also consider its position in relation to a proposal
by the Stanford Board for the Stanford Super Stars to play
matches against ICC Full Members in a winner-takes-all tournament.
The
CEC will review a draft international programme for the period
2012 – 2017 prepared by ICC management.
This
programme was produced following direction from the ICC Board.
It will seek to:
- Be
fair and equitable to all sides, requiring all Full Members
to play each other once at home and once away over the life
cycle of the Future Tours Program (FTP)
- Introduce
a limit to the numbers of test matches, ODIs and T20I matches
sides may play in any one series
- Provide
for two 'icon' series, between Australia and England, and
India and Pakistan, to take place every two years
- Restrict
to a maximum of seven the number of Twenty20 internationals
that any international side can play in a year (excluding
ICC events)
- Ensure
that any additional matches or series scheduled would be
considered to fall outside the FTP and must have no impact
on it in order to be confirmed
- The
CEC is to provide ICC management with feedback and comment
on the draft programme and, once complete, it will then
be reviewed by the ICC board. Possible implementation, if
appropriate, may be delayed due to members’ existing
commercial arrangements
