A schedule needed for twenty-over cricket

Dear Editor,

Whether the WICB President plans to resign or not, one important, simple, thing he can do, is to put forward the following resolution to the next meeting of the board of the ICC:

‘Whereas it is obvious that twenty-over cricket and indeed fifty-over cricket, for financial reasons, are likely to continue indefinitely, and whereas all countries and all players involved in international cricket benefit financially from those versions of the game, and whereas some countries suffer more than others from the involvement of some of their cricketers in foreign twenty-over cricket, and whereas cooperation between countries in the scheduling especially of domestic twenty-over cricket can be done in a manner that could, without difficulty, ensure the continuation of all forms of the game in a manner beneficial to all countries,

It is hereby declared that a 3 man committee of the board be immediately struck with a view to preparing such a schedule by December 31 2015.’

Yours faithfully,
Romain Pitt
