Members of International Cricket Council (ICC), led by the powerful cricket control advice in India (BCCI), has sent a very strong message on the report of the World Cricket Association (WCA). During the recent four -day meeting in Zimbabwe, the general committee of leaders (CEC) of the World Cricket organization discussed the report and clearly indicated that players can choose to play the Indian Premier (IPL) or to the WCA side.
The WCA is supposed to argue that they represent the players, but the ICC has raised their shoulders by saying that they represent the cricket councils of their respective countries.
“The BCCI took a position in the CEC meeting and it was supported unanimously by the other members of the CEC. The message is clear – the players can either choose to play IPL or next to WCA. There does not seem to be ambiguity. Regarding the share of the income of the game rights, it is not the activity of anyone. Image ?,” Questioning those who know the developments.
The all-powerful CEC, featuring representatives of full members and associate members, had a unanimous vision on the subject, and even questioned the existence of WCA.
“Who are they? What is the World Cricket Association? Where are they coming from? These are the immediate questions that come to my mind. For me, they are nothing other than a union that makes unnecessary noise. Obviously, they do not have the (the players) in mind and just want to create distractions. If the CPI reacts (for) or entertains commercial unions which took place WCA discussion.
Among the radical suggestions made by WCA in its 31 -page report, the most notable was to revise the model for sharing income from the world of world cricket. Under the section “ineffective global distribution models”, the WCA underlined how more than 50% of the revenues go to the three largest countries with the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) pocket 38.5% of the entire pie.
During the recent Survey conducted by WCA, in which the World Self-Dote organization questions the logic behind the BCCI share from the ICC revenues, a total of 64 people were spoken. And the names are mentioned in the report. Another member of the CEC affirmed that no modification was expected in the income model, and the point was not even deliberate.
“Before going to the details of the report, we must first understand who is WCA, isn’t it? And why will the ICC discuss the modification of the income model when they were agreed by the members when the Committee for Finance and Trade Affairs will have its recommendations. Science?
The FICA changed its name into a global cricket association in June of last year, but its existence is not yet recognized by the biggest cricket council in the world – the BCCI. The ICC has in the past discussions with the FICA, but a dialogue with WCA seems far -fetched at the moment.
“A decision made on the WCA report? No. Being taken care of,” said the administrator.
