FIFA is one of the toughest sports organization which is having good system to implement their decision, and they never talk about which is the biggest market and how beneficial are things from any country when they decide about their policies these works for all countries and never favor any particular country just because of this FIFA is having amazing success just like we have in Qatar too many rumors and criticism, but they were stick with their decision and at the end we have one of the best event in Qatar2022.

Now if we talk about Cricket here we have biased monopoly which is working for their own sack, and they never respect their own decisions and mostly favoured by three countries which have nothing with cricket just doing their own business just because of this we are unable to have cricket in Olympics and now many other factors which I don't want to write, but this all is just based on personal issues which are not related to security and for the love of this game it's all simple.

If the other boards want to take on the pig-4, then they can do that. But they are always disunited. Out of the 17 voting members of the ICC, the pig-4 controls only 7 votes (India, Australia, England, New Zealand, Oman and the two independent votes). In order to get to a majority, they need at least 9 votes. And they always reach this figure. When it comes to voting, smaller boards such as WICB and SLCB always side with the pig-4. And then they complain that their voices are not being heard.

When Tavengwa Mukuhlani of Zimbabwe Cricket was planning to contest against Greg Barclay a few month back, hardly any of the full members supported him. As a result, once again the pig-4 nominee (Barclay) was elected as the chairman of the ICC.

This is what happens when short-term gains get a higher priority over long term benefits. Boards such as BCCI and CA doesn't intend to give special treatment to either WICB or CSA. Once they are able to achieve their motive, with respect to funding and other aspects they will refuse to co-operate with the West Indian and South African boards. Eventually the funding for weaker nations will be reduced further. The aim of the pig-4 is to make richer boards even more rich and keep the poorer boards poor. CSA and WICB allying with the pig-4 will backfire on them in the near future.

^^^ I gave the example of WICB and CSA, because these are the two boards who collaborate with the BCCI more often. But that doesn't mean that the boards such as BCB and SLCB hasn't made deals with the BCCI in the past. As long as the smaller boards remain divided, that much easier it will be for the pig-4 to push forward with their agenda. They are resorting to backdoor means to get control of the ICC. This was very evident during the election of associate representative, when one of the slots went to a BCCI proxy. Previously all three associate representatives were opposed to the pig-4, but last year during the elections the pig-4 managed to get Pankaj Khimji of Oman elected (defeating Mahinda Vallipuram). Khimji is a well known supporter of pig-4. See the irony. Associate representative will now support the policies of pig-4, which intends to reduce associate funding to zero. Lower ranking test nations, as well as associates are divided.

Deals may work in the short term. But in the long term it will result in enormous losses. No one gives respect to weak people. In the next funding cycle (2024-31), I am sure that the pig-4 will push to increase their share of revenues from the ICC funds. CSA and WICB will once more side with the pig-4 in return for a couple of bilateral tours. But any benefit from these bilateral tours will quickly evaporate when they start receiving reduced share from the ICC. And then the other smaller boards are not going to help them as well.

This is possible because cricket is still in a small phase. If it had spread, some countries would not have been able to establish a position very easily. There are few country's people who conducting the organization ICC where a small group of members get the membership, the regulations are easily approved. Which might not have been possible in Europe. Cricket would have been at a much better level if we had kept our eyes on the cricket instead of the bag. But there is no benefit in discussing the issue. I think it's just an expression of anger.

I totally agree with you this all is just because of the money power, and they never allow others to live freely because this is not in their favor and with this all things are going more disgusting for the rule of fair play as we have no other sport authority which is doing things like this while they are having much better exposure and biggest markets as well.

Colonial mind set is still running here and first Australia and England were hold things for their own sack, and they never allow any other to have anything positive for the sack of this game, and now they have India which is taking good advantage of its biggest market in cricket, but I have good and positive hopes for this game as I am the real lover of cricket and want better and supportive things will happen, and all teams take good advantage of this all.

I thought that it will be good to give an update on the Nepal tour by Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Rizwan.

https://cricketpakistan.com.pk/en/news/detail/mohammad-rizwan-meets-rape-accused-sandeep-lamichhane

The main purpose of the visit was to meet Chatur Bahadur Chand, who is the president of the Cricket Association of Nepal (CAN), in order to discuss the growth of cricket in Nepal. In addition to that he also met several members of the Nepal national cricket team, including Sandeep Lamichhane. But his visit got overshadowed by the controversy surrounding  Lamichhane. Rizwan's fans are enraged, as they are saying that he should not have met Lamichhane before the court exonerates him from the rape charges.

But all the controversy apart, it is great to see at least one full member nation supporting the associate nations. PCB has always taken a sympathetic view towards the associate members, and they have provided great support for the tier-2 test nations as well (Ireland, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe). Recently the Irish women's team toured Pakistan for a successful bilateral series.

No doubt things never exist for long time and changes happen as well here things will be change like right now franchise leagues are developing, and many countries are working on this all if able to have better sponsors and media right's income increase then surely dependence on ICC will be also change and countries will be able to do things for their own sack.
 
I believe now few countries need to scrape idea of ODI and just work on shorter format because this will be helpful and give them better things for their future right now we have just 10 or 11 countries with test status, but all are not involved and few are going down badly with recently we have big decline in ODI as well which is also good for the associate countries because with this all now they are able to work on just one format and this will be brought big changes in this all setup.

This is a very good step by PCB and Muhammad Rizwan to support associate nations  and help them to grow in cri ket and motivate them for that.
But what's the point to meeting  Sandeep Lamichhane whose rape cases is under court,? And its written in news Rizwan asked to meet him as he cannot leave country and stuff.
Why to make it controversial?
