Arjuna Ranatunga dubs ICC ‘International Crime Council’
By:CricLife StaffFebruary 3, 2015

These men provided Sri Lanka their greatest sporting moment ever when the island nation lifted the cricket World Cup for the very first time in 1996. The then captain Arjuna Ranatunga, along with Aravinda de Silva and Muttiah Muralitharan joined at the panel discussion with the 1996 World Cup Heroes – organized by theSundayTimes Business Club.
Known to speak his mind, Ranatunga spoke about corruption and match-fixing within cricket and blamed the games governing body, ICC, for its lack of guidance.
As reported byThePapere.com, the former Sri Lankan skipper lashed out at ICC as he said, “There is no ICC anymore. It is just BCCI. It is not International Cricket Council it is International Crime Council. If you take all the cricket board Presidents am sure they are all puppets. ICC is the toothless tiger.”
He was extremely critical about the ICC Chairman N Srinivasan who has had a number of controversies to deal with.
Ranatunga, who is now an Union Minister, went on to say, “Just imagine the person whose son-in-law got caught with fixing is the head of ICC. What’s the logic behind that? Worst part is players are getting punished and threatened and when it comes to the Indian Cricket Board, the richest cricket board rules doesn’t apply for them.”
“I am so glad at least the Indian System (Judiciary) is good. They got hold of these corrupt officials and kept them out of the CB. But ICC directors allowed Srinivasan to sit in the ICC main chair. This where I always say when this big three came into power the game is going to Indian Cricket Board’s hand.”
“If this goes for another 3-4 years cricket will suffer. It is important all test playing cricket board’s get together and fight for their places. Don’t know whether they have the backbone.”
De Silva too echoed similar thoughts as his captain and stressed on the importance of education to young cricketers about the corruption in the sport.
“I felt really sorry for Mohammad Aamer. He was just a 18-year-old kid when that incident happened. ICC cannot kill those youngsters. You need to educate them on corruption and match fixing. They get dragged into it because they are unaware. When on tour you are bound to meet such people (Bookies) need to educate and show examples. That’s where the psychology aspect comes in,” said Sri Lanka’s World Cup winning hero.
Spin wizard Muralitharan also shared De Silva’s sentiments, saying that stern actions were needed to curb the evils from the game.

THE eleventh Cricket World Cup, which began in Australia and New Zealand on February 14th, consists of 42 largely meaningless games, followed by 7 important ones. To understand why this is, consider what happened in the 2007 rendition of cricket’s biggest tournament, which was held in the West Indies. It was a financial disaster because the Indian team, traditionally a poor traveller, was knocked out in the early stages. As a result, most of the world’s cricket fans switched off their television sets. This (perfectly sporting) calamity cost Indian broadcasters millions of dollars in lost advertising revenues, and seriously embarrassed the cabal of Indian politicians and businessmen who run the world’s second most popular game—in India and, increasingly, everywhere.
To ensure no repeat of that disaster, this year’s World Cup tournament is designed to ensure the biggest teams, and especially the Indian team, stay in—and so millions of Indian television stay switched on—for the longest possible time. Indian cricket fans might consider that rather demeaning: their heroes, after all, are the reigning world champions. Yet their triumph at the 2011 World Cup was largely because it was played on Indian pitches, which handed the Indians a big advantage, and, despite beating Pakistan in their opening game on February 15th, they are now in poor form. The 14 participant teams have been split into two groups, each of which include four front-rank cricket sides, such as Australia and India, and three minnows, including Afghanistan and Ireland. The first 42 games will be played within these groups. Only in the quarter-finals, for which all eight front-rank sides will almost certainly qualify, will the competition get serious.
If India has thecommercial heftto shape international cricket, why are its cricketers not better? Cricket, after all, has an almost monopolistic hold on the sporting affections of India’s 1.2 billion people. According to a survey by an Indian think-tank, 80% of Indians under the age of 25 followed cricket “to a great extent” or “somewhat”. By contrast, New Zealand has a bit over 4m people, who mostly prefer rugby to cricket, yet their cricketers have a good chance of winning the World Cup. The explanation for India’s underperformance is complicated; it has to do with malnutrition and poverty, as well asbad sports administration, and an elitist cricketing culture that favours batsmen over the hardworking attacking bowlers required to succeed abroad. But this giant shortcoming is clearly representative of India’s broader failure to harness the talents of its giant population. Indeed, its economic and cricketing failures are for partly the same reasons—albeit that, in both areas, India’s record is improving.
It is easy to grumble about India’s growing influence in cricket, and many cricket fans (including Indian ones) do. Given the immensity of the Indian cricket market, there will be no end to it, however—or not until Indian cricket starts to face serious competition fromother sports, such as football. This, of which there are also early signs, might reduce India’s determination to control world cricket a bit, which no serious cricket fan would mourn. But they might miss some of the effects on their game of Indian money.
