Challenge India: Lorgat

The ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat called on other cricket boards including Cricket Australia to be strong enough to challenge India on key issues such as Decision Review System and the delayed World Test Championship.

The BCCI has repeatedly expressed its unwillingness about the use of DRS especially as some of the senior players feel that technology is not foolproof. This has been the reason of displeasure for other cricket boards including England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) as well as CA.

“It’s not the strength of India that should be of concern, it should be the weakness of the others, because good governance is about everybody being able to stand on their own feet,” he said.

About the proposed World Test Championship which has now been deferred to 2017 as there are reports of CA backing out as it didn’t prove to be a financially viable option as the parent body has a deal with ESPN Star Sports.
