TIB condemns proposed discriminatory system of test cricket

Deploring the proposed two-tier test cricket system and money-driven control of the popular game, the Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) has urged the International Cricket Council (ICC) and all the national cricket authorities, including Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB), to come forward to prevent such self-defeating reforms.
In a statement Tuesday, TIB executive director Dr Iftekharuzzaman said, “The proposed two-tier system is highly discriminatory, conspiratorial and unjustified. It’ll eliminate relatively newer test-playing nations like Bangladesh from the global cricketing arena, which is absolutely unacceptable.”
Dr Iftekhar said the graft watchdog is deeply concerned that the proposed changes will create concentration of power in the so-called big three (Australia, India and UK), according to a news agency.
