Decision to run cricket according to commercial interests will cause inequity

Although concerns regarding the ICC "position paper" discussing a two-tier system has been raised in several of the "non top three" cricketing nations, at least one Indian sports writer is also expressing concerns.

As Harsha Bhogle writes in the Indian Express today, "the first thing that strikes you about the “position paper” on the future of the ICC (was the leak an act of dissidence?) is how smartly it has been drafted. I got the impression that the people that produced it were aware of where they would be attacked and have put in debating points at the right places." He also questions the philosophy behind the proposal, saying "But debating points are one thing, the basic philosophy is another. The real issue before the ICC, or the new entity that seeks to be the ICC, is how to balance commerce and development."
