Cricket, once the pride of our region and the heartbeat of our people, is being quietly strangled - not by a lack of talent or fan support, but by leadership structures so deeply flawed they no longer serve the game. Across several regional cricket boards, governance has collapsed into something more dangerous than incompetence: entitlement without accountability.

Where else in public life can you fail repeatedly, spend public funds with zero oversight, produce embarrassing results and still keep your job, year after year? In cricket administration, failure is not only tolerated; it is protected and even rewarded.

Board members pay themselves what they want, select players based on personal loyalty rather than merit, and treat national team results as irrelevant. Whether we win, lose, or are completely humiliated on the international stage, the outcome is the same: they stay in power.

Unless the entire structure is dismantled and rebuilt on merit, integrity, and purpose, we are not on our way back to the top of world cricket.We are digging ourselves deeper into irrelevance.And those who allowed it - both those who acted and those who enabled them - must be held to account.

As David Rudder so aptly pointed out decades ago, "Soon we must take a side or be lost in the rubble." How much longer should we rally?
