Published June 29, 2011

IccKARACHI: The Pakistan Task Team (PTT) has completed its work and presented a comprehensive report comprising 63 recommendations to International Cricket Council (ICC) Executive Board meeting in Hong Kong on Wednesday.

"PTT made its recommendations covering the key areas of governance, cricket administration, playing structure, financial viability and communications," ICC said in a statement.

The PTT comprises Giles Clarke (chairman), Mike Brearley, Peter Chingoka, Haroon Lorgat (ICC Chief Executive), Ranjan Madugalle,

Ramiz Raja, and David Richardson (ICC General Manager- Cricket). ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat thanked the PTT members and the PCB for their constructive engagement during the past two years.

"The report was adopted unanimously by the ICC Board and I am pleased that the PCB will consider this report at its next Board meeting," he said.

The ICC Executive Board noted a request from the PCB to consider hosting an ICC event in Pakistan in 2018. No discussion was held and no assurances were given as the ICC has no confirmed event currently scheduled for 2018.

"We fully understand the PCB request and we will consider if it is possible to host an event in Pakistan subject to the standard safety and security clearances,”

In the meantime, both the Bangladesh Cricket Board and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have given undertakings not to nominate a candidate for ICC Vice-President before the external review is completed and the matter is again considered by the ICC Executive Board.

The Board therefore decided to defer the proposed constitutional amendment to the nominations process for election of the ICC President and accordingly withdrew its proposal to the Annual Conference in this regard.

The ICC Governance Review Committee had recommended that a wide-ranging, independent review should cover all governance-related matters including the possibility of appointing independent directors.

The review will be required to be completed before the next ICC Executive Board meeting scheduled for October next.

"I wholeheartedly welcome an independent review of the entire ICC governance and regard this as a major step to meet stakeholders' expectations and the high standards of a world-class organisation," ICC Chief Executive Haroon Lorgat said.

The ICC Executive Board noted that the Test match between England and India at Lords' Cricket Ground starting on July 21 will be the 2,000th Test match in cricket history.
