I am glad that Sir Lanka, and especially Pakistan held the ground based on the principals. It was obvious from day one that these amendments would eventually get approved for obvious reasons, so no surprise.

There was a time when England and Australia blackmailed crickets for literally decades but than their supremacy was challenged. Now they re-gained that bully status with the help of a new partner, but is only a matter of time when this hegemony will also come to an end.

What "Held their ground" .. If they held their ground, they would have voted against.. No?

Good. Now time for BCCI to pass the rule that whoever scores a run on Ishant Sharma ball is out.

This massive talent of Ishant needs recognition after all.

Also, only 5 players on field for first 10 overs while India is betting.....ooops i mean batting

I think now that we got all the powers in the Council, I propose following suggestions.


1. ICC should be renamed Indian Cricket Council.


2. BCCI should ban the concept of "neutral vanue".

No member should be allowed to host a match other than the host country.

3. Eating balls should be a criminal offence!

4. No other member should form something like IPL. (Or if they do form it, keep Pakistani players out of it.)

I invite all the people to make their own suggestions.

Add one more... Indian Girls should not be allowed to marry Pakistani cricketers...

Talking about standing Pakistani athlete is representing his country under Pakistani flag in winter olympics. While Indian athletes are representing some independent Olympics athletes under olympics flag.

IOC is not ICC after all.

The reforms were passed after gaining the support of eight of the ICC's 10 full members.

SINGAPORE (AFP) - The International Cricket Council board Saturday approved wide-ranging structural and governance reforms despite complaints that they place too much power in the hands of the "Big Three" of India, England and Australia.



The proposals were passed after gaining the support of eight of the ICC s 10 full members, with Sri Lanka and Pakistan -- who have both been vocally opposed -- abstaining, a spokesman said.

The package resolution, passed at a meeting in Singapore, includes setting up a five-man executive council with seats reserved for India, England and Australia, the sport s leading financial powers.

And N. Srinivasan of India, which contributes the lion s share of cricket s global revenues, will chair the ICC board from the middle of this year.

"I think it was a very good meeting, there was general agreement and all very satisfactory," said England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Giles Clarke.

South Africa had previously opposed the reforms, which met with virulent opposition after they were debated at a board meeting in Dubai last month.

But South African board member Chris Nenzani was one of the eight to vote in favour at a luxury hotel in Singapore on Saturday. He did not answer questions about the meeting as he left.

Members of the cricket establishment have lined up to criticise the proposals, with Imran Khan calling them "colonial" and Lord Harry Woolf, author of a report into the ICC s governance, saying they were "entirely motivated by money".

The reforms passed on Saturday include setting up a Test Cricket Fund available to all full members except India, England and Australia, and a move to make it easier for other countries to gain Test status.

The proposed World Test Championship, which was due to debut in 2017, has been axed with the Champions Trophy -- an eight-country tournament in the one-day format -- continuing in 2017 and 2021.

"It proved impossible to come up with a format for a four-team finals event in Test cricket that fits the culture of Test cricket and preserves the integrity of the format," an ICC release said.

And a new financial model will recognise members contributions in terms of finance, history and on-field performances, a moved aimed at providing "long-term certainty of participation" as they negotiate TV and sponsorship deals.

"There were eight full members who were in a position to support the resolution today and the two who have abstained have pledged to further discuss the issues with an aim to reaching unanimous approval over the coming weeks," said ICC president Alan Isaac.

Sri Lanka s Nishantha Ranatunga told AFP he would now discuss the proposals with his board, while Pakistan representative Zaka Ashraf declined to talk to media.

You see, there is a way. When we ban Pakistan to play any cricket, then there would be no "Pakistani cricketers"

Showed you the reality. Standing should be based on principles and performance. Not just because you have a billion idiots, you get the right to be a badmash.

Again you can't bully everyone. Not everyone is ICC.

we would bully Pakistan as a nation ..not individuals.

While I agree to you in principle about standing basis performance, the performance is multi faceted.. Economic performance is a criteria as well.. Also having one billion idiots is an advantage when you have 180 million idiots on the other side

Not really when it comes to sports. Not happens internationally. Indians have their own interpretation totally different from the rest of the world.

True you have more idiots. We don't have that many.

we would bully Pakistan as a nation ..not individuals.

Lol. Time for you to get mature then.
