ICC to discuss cricket at 2010 C'wealth Games


The International Cricket Council will deliberate on the possibility of cricket being included as one of the disciplines in the New Delhi Commonwealth Games 2010 during its two-day Executive Board meeting which started on Monday.

The organisers of the Commonwealth Games 2010 have sent in an invitation to ICC for cricket to be made a part of the event in view of the immense popularity of the game in their country.

Also on the agenda of the meeting, being attended by the chiefs of the ten Test playing nations and three representatives of the Associate Members, is an update on Twenty20 Cricket and its potential role in international cricket, an ICC press release said.

The meeting will also discuss a number of commercial issues related to ICC events and the feasibility of changing the current five-year playing calendar to a six-year calendar.

Ranbir Singh Mahendra is representing the Indian cricket board in the meeting.
