Cricket Australia has defended the structural overhaul of the ICC which will cede executive decision-making to India, Australia and England in the face of sharp criticism from some other Boards and Federation of International Cricketers' Associations.
CA chairman Wally Edwards, a key figure in the drafting of a proposal to centralise power at the hands of the 'Big Three', has broken his silence to defend the plan after FICA Executive Chairman Paul Marsh termed it as unconstitutional and detrimental to the interest of other countries.
‘Traditionally, CA does not comment on ICC discussions it is about to have - we talk to other ICC nations across the table rather than via the media. But we were today disappointed to see FICA question whether CA and others have met their fiduciary duties as ICC members,’ Edwards said.
