AFP, New Delhi :
A controversial shake-up of the governance and structure of cricket’s world body will benefit the game and ensure its financial health, India’s powerful boss N. Srinivasan said on Monday.
“I think it’s good for cricket overall, good for the financial health of all full, associate and affiliate members. There is meritocracy,” Srinivasan told The Hindu newspaper.
The reforms, which will give more power and money to India, Australia and England, were passed by the International Cricket Council’s (ICC) Executive Board in Singapore on Saturday.
Eight of the 10 Test nations approved the proposals-which also make Srinivasan the first incumbent of the newly-created post of ICC chairman-while Pakistan and Sri Lanka abstained.
