The brain formerly known as FICA has begun a review of india's international structure
The players ' body hopes that a comprehensive review of the global structure put forth by the World Cricketers ' Association (WCA ) will solve the increasingly disjointed and cramped cricket calendar.
Heath Mills, the WCA chair ( formerly known as FICA ), said they had "given up hope" that the game's leaders could establish a" clear and coherent structure" in which international cricket and domestic leagues can co-exist. The assessment, Mills said, was the result of people wanting to have a say about the future of the sport and wanting answers to get put forward. One of those options, which WCA says 84 % of the people they have spoken to are in favour of, is ring-fenced panels to ensure global cricket and local T20 leagues is co-exist.
A six-member group, led by former Australian Cricketers ' Association chief Paul Marsh and including former Pakistan captain Sana Mir, former FICA chief Tony Irish, former ECB CEO Tom Harrison as well as Sanjog Gupta ( Head of Sports, Disney Star ), will lead the review. The team will discuss various stakeholders, including players, current and former administrators, and company owners before producing a set of recommendations to provide first to the WCA table, and then to the game beyond, including the ICC.
The team is aiming to make suggestions before the close of the year, though that is not believed to be a difficult date.
WCA said the party may look at three important issues affecting the sport worldwide. The timing model, which it said was "broken and unworkable" and" confusing and turbulent" and which was forcing people to choose between "representing their land and optimising their jobs. Additionally, it will analyze the growing economic disparity between the people, making it impossible for the smaller members to make" short-term decisions." Ultimately, it will examine player work and contracts, arguing that the absence of a unified global calendar makes it impossible for the game to operate independently and fairly across borders. "
" Change is badly needed to create continued precision, and significance, for people, Board and fans likewise," WCA said in the statement.
WCA represents players from 16 different members, including associations from Australia, England, New Zealand, and South Africa. The BCCI and PCB, both of which have no player association for active players, are the only major Full Members who are not represented at WCA.
In the statement, Mills said," We are fortunate that cricket is spoilt for choice and has three core formats in both the domestic and international leagues." " To date, however, the game's leadership has failed to come together to create a cogent and transparent global framework where they can coexist. We have virtually given up hope of it doing so.
The players "want to start putting forward some solutions to known issues," and they deserve a say in the future of the game. The process we have put in place, guided by independent expertise, will be focussed on making recommendations to our Board on optimising the game's global structure, ensuring sustainable value, and providing more clarity, consistency, and less confusion for players, fans and commercial partners alike.
