World Cricketers' Association calls for a more equitable revenue distribution and a revamp of the ICC's governance model

Here is the list of ICC committees showing the WCA/FICA designated positions: https://www.icc-cricket.com/about/the-icc/structure/committees.

Thanks

They were very vocal critics of those changes. Notably the majority of the changes made at the time were reversed in some way (either fully or partially) a short while later.

In other words, they were ignored on the the crux issue

I mixed up the years you were using in your pot and assumed you were still referring to the 2014 changes.

sure.

So the major revenue share in model 2023, did the FICA/WCA go along with or could do nothing to stop it?

I can't find any public comments from the time, given their report I think it's safe to assume they didn't agree with it.

and couldn't do f'all to stop it

guessing their say in the votes thro' their positions on sub-committees of the CEC was as useful as used toilet paper

BTW, glad you woke up and joined the thread.

I'm guess it was all WCA/FICA and nothing to do with Shashank Manohar and Indian supreme court handicapping the BCCI

Sanjog Gupta, part of the panel who put together this report, has just been appointed ICC CEO.

These Cricketers Associations are a waste of time. They don't get anywhere. I remember the one headed by Tim May. He tried for years but could not get anywhere or accomplish much. Not sure if that organization is still active.

Was WCA able to do anything for BCB in the WC issue? or simply a lame moral support like PCB?

Dissolve ICC. Launch a new cricketing governing body. Exclude India or limit their influence.

Yea, because PCB and BCB are unhappy with ICC.

No point in dissolving the ICC. The one that replaces it will do the same.

The goal should be to have a strong governing body. Where there is less chances for one board's influence. As with everything in the real world, $$$$$ is the main sticking point. $$$$$ is what runs things. That needs to be addressed.

One of the ways to do that would be to reverse the current revenue model. Sort of a subscription model. Where the member boards contribute equally to the ICC for it's annual budget.

Not sure that will work though. Given that the ICC and the boards have tasted the current model and seem to like it very much. Likely there will be no push back. The PCB and BCB seem to attempt at a change. But they do not have much traction or support from the rest. Things will continue as is.
