The International Cricket Council (ICC) today concluded its five-day Annual Conference in Dublin with strong support for strengthening the ICC Code of Conduct and a range of new offences introduced. A plan for stabilising the financial, cricket and management structures at Zimbabwe Cricket was also agreed.

ICC Chairman Shashank Manohar said: “It has been a productive week of meetings here in Dublin and it has been good to have all ICC Members in attendance at our 75th Annual Conference. I and my fellow Board directors were unanimous in supporting the recommendations of the Cricket Committee and Chief Executives’ Committee to drive improved behavior across our sport.

“It is vital that there is a strong deterrent to both players and administrators to ensure we have high standards of conduct in our game. We have more than a billion fans and we must not give any of them any reason to doubt the high levels of integrity within our sport.

“I am satisfied we have mapped out a way forward to enable Zimbabwe Cricket to get back on track. It will require significant change to their financial, managerial and cricketing operations, along with support from the ICC, but we saw the latent potential of cricket at the recent ICC Cricket World Cup Qualifier in Zimbabwe and this gives us the opportunity to build on that.

“I was delighted to welcome Indra Nooyi, our first independent female director to the Board and would like to thank her for her excellent contributions this week. The decision by my fellow directors to bring an independent director onto the Board was an important one and one, that with Indra in place, will be good for the game.”

People really didn't realize how damaging not making the World Cup was going to be for Zimbabwe.

It's going to be a long road back for them, but I suppose the ICC will find a way to keep it afloat.

I find it very interesting that only
Zimbabwe & its Management were the only People criticized .

Evidently those in the governance of
West Indies Cricket have escaped
scrutiny ; despite the fact that the
WICBC/CWI management Team is among the
Worst in International Cricket .

There is as far as I am aware , no intention by the ICC to scold or upbraid those in the WICBC/CWI for its refusal to change the its 1928
Structure .

So the pertinent Question that the
WICBC/CWI must address is this :

WHERE IS THE WEHBY REPORT ???

I AM BEGINNING TO BELIEVE THAT IT IS

A COLOSSAL HOAX FOISTED ON THE

PEOPLE OF THIS REGION .

There is a genuine belief that the
Wehby Report was & is merely a Colossal Hoax perpetrated on the
People of the Region .

What is needed is a Code of Conduct
for Members of ALL Cricket Boards in the Region .
It is because None currently exists in this Region why in the longer
Formats of the Game Our Players are
languishing at or near the Bottom of
International Cricket .
