Taking another step forward in finalising a new Future Tours Programme for the 2012-2020 period, ICC's chief executive committee has begun the process of drawing up rules and regulations for the Test and ODI leagues.
The committee also agreed to reconstitute its working group comprising David Collier (ECB), Nishantha Ranatunga (SLC), N. Srinivasan (BCCI), James Sutherland (CA) and David Richardson (ICC General Manager-Cricket) to consider rules, regulations and points system for the leagues.
The working group, which previously made recommendations on the leagues and ICC global event calendar, will also have top statistician and ICC cricket committee member, David Kendix.
The group will report back in January next year. “With the ODI league commencing immediately after the ICC cricket World Cup 2011, the ICC board will need to confirm the rules and regulations at its February meeting.”
“There was noticeable excitement during the CEC meeting when we realised the interest which these leagues will create,” ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat said in the statement.
