ICC Vows to deliver a great World Cup Event
The ICC has expressed its resolve to organize a “spectator friendly” cricket world cup 2011.
Tournament director of the mega cricketing event, Ratnakar Shetty said in a press release, “The Central Organization Committee (COC), which is headed by Mr. Sharad Pawar, who is also ICC president, has taken several decisions in trying to make this event
a memorable one and to ensure that the non-India, non-Sri Lanka and non-Bangladesh games also have good spectator attendance.”
Disclosing about the steps the COC has decided to take in holding the event, which would ensure huge spectators participation, Shetty claimed in the press release to keep the price of the tickets at minimal and affordable level. According to him, this was
a step which would encourage the spectators to come to the grounds for watching the match. Moreover, he also vowed to extend excellent facilities for the visitors at the stadiums, particular for the media personnel and the players. He claimed that the emphasize
was not there on size of the stadiums; rather it was there on the provision of the relevant facilities.
The biggest event of the cricketing world is going to kick off on 19th February in Dhaka; the matches will be simultaneously played in the host trio of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747.
While pondering upon 2010, the gone by year, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Haroon-Lorgat-c61719, the Chief Executive of the ICC also provided details about the Future Tour Programme (FTP) and said, “Restructuring of the Future Tours Programme was quite significant where we created the Test
Championship model. This will add a lot of context and meaning to the bilateral cricket. The anti-doping code was introduced and came into effect in 2010 while the Decision Review System (DRS) was also significant. We have seen how it is aiding the umpires
in the current Ashes series.”
Talking about two major changes took place in the ICC office, the chief executive talked about Sir Ronnie Flannigan who had replaced Lord Paul Condon as head of the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit. The other major change which had taken place in the office
was about the presidency position which had been vacated by David Morgan and Sharad Pawar had took charge as the new president of the council.
