“Likewise prominent in the new men’s FTP is a disturbing and developing difference in how much global cricket played by a minority of part countries contrasted with others; a circumstance which is obviously neither impartial nor economical.”

The MCC expressed that while the worldwide game had never been in a “better position”, it added that the monetary bonus ought to permeated to each and every ICC part country.
