Edinburgh, June 29
The International Cricket Council (ICC) is most likely to add two more teams to the main draw of the reinstated World T20 in 2018. Discussions at the associates meeting of the ongoing ICC annual conference here also indicated that representatives of the associate nations on the ICC board may get full voting rights as well.
“What I have heard is that two teams will go through from each first group to create a Super 12,” Tim Cutler, the Hong Kong Cricket Association chief executive, was quoted as saying by a cricket website.
In better news for the associates, there is a motion to give their three representatives on the ICC full voting privileges and therefore a voice when it comes to decision-making. ICC chairman Shashank Manohar made the announcement and it could be ratified later in the week. — IANS
