Pakistan World XI Series on agenda and new rules from ICC meetings

[StriKe]

Quote

Plans for a World XI to play in Pakistan later this year continue to be developed as the ICC Board confirmed its support of Pakistan’s efforts to bring international cricket back to Pakistan. In light of this the Board agreed to support the staging of a Pakistan v World XI event in Lahore later this year, a three game series of T20 games that will be accorded international status. Further details will be announced in due course.

Quote

The Chief Executives’ Committee approved all recommendations from the Cricket Committee. This includes the use of DRS in all T20 International games and teams not losing a review when an LBW review comes back as Umpire’s Call. The 80 over top-up of reviews in Test cricket has been removed.

Quote

The Cricket Committee’s proposed adoption of the majority of the recent changes to the Laws have been accepted. This includes giving umpires the power to send off players from the field in response to the most serious incidents of player misconduct, such as violence on the field. All Members have agreed to implement this in full. All other offences would continue to be dealt with under the ICC Code of Conduct.

 

Quote

Other major changes to the Laws that will be adopted by the ICC are the restriction on bat dimensions (thickness of edges and depth of bat), and that a batsman will have made his or her ground when a bat bounces after being grounded behind the crease by a running or diving batsman. The new ICC playing conditions will come into effect from 1 October.

What does this mean ? Only 2 reviews for whole test innings ?

Who is daring to sacrifice life for a cricket match?

[Vilander]

small problem players could get killed. so yeah occupational hazard from peaceful people.

[LordPrabhzy]

LOL no test players from the Top 5 countries would ever go to pakistan. Bangladesh dont even want to go

 

So it will be a world XI made up from Zim, Afg and maybe fringe payers from Bang and SL. Does the ICC think before they make these decisions.

[gattaca]

Pakistan vote for the goes is what made this. But probably this is the most it will go to the first ones to back out of a tour to Pakistan are goras.

[Zero_Unit]

You know what I really miss, Asia vs world. That was a fun tournament. 

[Sandeep99]

I'm interested in who these 'World XI players' are. Will they select Chataras, Sammys, Malans, etc. and pass them as World XI?

  Do you also try to pick up chicks?

[jf1gp_1]

I am not going to goto the extreme and suggest someone is going to get killed. Am sure Pak security is wiser and competent enough to ensure SL type attack dont happen again. Now as far as the event goes, ICC wants to entertain pak and help cricket make a return, they absolutely should.

 

Now do i want BCCI or Indian players to be part of this, absolutely NOT. At this point govt has taken a stand, general mood is against it no reason why we should be involved.
