ICC Chief Executives’ Committee to meet in Cape Town

Among the items on the agenda will be:

Introducing context and structure to the Future Tours Programme (FTP) and ICC events.

The CEC will consider a proposal from its working group on introducing context for international cricket will the view to confirming the FTP from 2012 to 2020. The proposal will include the possibility of Test and ODI leagues as well as that of a Test play-off.

The CEC working group, comprising David Collier (England and Wales), Nishantha Rantaguna (Sri Lanka), N Srinivasan (India), James Sutherland (Australia) and David Richardson (ICC General Manager - Cricket), has thoroughly researched and considered many issues including submissions from the Associate and Affiliate Members and held a joint meeting with the Governance Review group.

The CEC working group has also taken into account market research data collected from South Africa, England, India, Australia, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh which indicate a need for context and content to be introduced into international cricket.
