MUMBAI:
The ICC Chief Executives' Committee (CEC) will meet in Kuala
Lumpur on 19 and 20 February.
The two-day meeting will discuss a range of issues relating
to the playing and business of cricket, some of which will
be considered by the ICC Board when it next meets in March.
Among
the items on the agenda for the meeting are:
ICC
Cricket World Cup 2011 format: CEC will review potential
formats for the event and will make a recommendation to the
IDI Board for approval. The proposed formats include 14 and
16 team options, all of which are capable of being played
over a shorter duration than the 2007 event.
CEC
will also discuss a range of issues arising out of the Indian
Premier League (IPL) and Indian Cricket League (ICL).
Technology:
CEC will review a proposal prepared by ICC management on the
use of technology in decision-making. The proposal has been
produced following directions from the ICC Cricket Committee
and suggests the trialling of an “umpire decision review
system” during the England v South Africa Test series
to be played in England in July/August 2008.
According
to the proposal, the captain of the fielding team or the batsman,
as the case may be, will be entitled to a limited number of
occasions to request the on-field umpire to review his decision
in consultation with the TV umpire.
CEC
will review this proposal and make a recommendation to the
ICC Board. If the trial is given the go-ahead by the Board,
the final playing conditions will be developed in consultation
with the ICC Cricket Committee.
