Cricket to be run by India, England & Australia?

Officials from the BCCI, ECB and CA reportedly first presented the document to other countries at a meeting this month, with ICC officials even having limited knowledge of the proposals.
   
The ICC said it would not comment on the proposals until they are discussed by its board at the end of this month. They will be considered and could be put to a vote at the ICC meeting on Jan. 27-29 in Dubai.
   
While the paper recognizes some realities, including that India is by far the dominant country because of the money it raises from its billion-strong cricket-mad population, and is followed distantly by England and Australia, the changes also threaten to undermine smaller cricket countries.
   
South Africa, which has the top-ranked test team but not the financial clout of the other three, was the first country to express public opposition to the proposals because they hadn't followed the correct procedure of consultation within the ICC.
   
Cricket South Africa said on Monday the proposals were therefore "fundamentally flawed."
   
The Pakistan Cricket Board said it was seeking guidance from the country's prime minister over the proposals, which it called "important matters of national interest." Sri Lanka sports minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage reportedly described the report as "a serious challenge to the Sri Lanka cricket setup."
