Haroon Lorgat, the new ICC chief executive, has raised concerns over the future of international cricket given the growing financial attraction of the Indian Premier League and hinted at the need for a window for the league in the international calendar. His comments were made during a media interaction at Lord's on Thursday, the day Sri Lanka Cricket said it allowed its players to participate in the Indian Premier League next year though it coincided with a tour of England.
Now. Is it me, but would anyone else, who was, say a senior figure in the ICC have taken steps to "manage" this before it became an issue?
