(A) Popularise cricket!
1. Restructure Current test teams.
For Cricket to enhance first the standard of the present test teams ought to be enhanced. Teams like England and West Indies have to be more competitive. Here are a few suggestions:
Introduce cricket in schools and schools.More cricket competitions ought to be held.Cricket telecasts ought to be proven on liberated to air channels.Short types of the sportlike twenty20 ought to be performed to capture public imagination.Improvement of cricket arenas and fields.Boost the competition of domestic competition.Selection based only on merit This is not on quotas.Encouraging native peoples for example coloureds, Aborigines &lifier Maoris to represent the nation's squad.
2. Restructuring Current ODI Teams.
It's disheartening for that current ODI status teams to experience only throughout world cups. This kind of unfair policy would not see new teams improve. Teams for example Canada, UAE, Scotland, Namibia &lifier Holland ought to be given permanent ODI status and official competitions ought to be performed among themselves and also the 3 bottom rated test teams. A time limit of 35 yrs ought to be enforced to inspire youngsters.
Kenya ought to be given Test Status.
3. League Format
All teams Make sure ODI ought to be rated in categories of 5. The top five is going to be grp A. Next 5 B and so forth. Teams inside a particular group are permitted to experience with teams in their own individual group in addition to adjacent groups only. eg. Group A cannot play group C teams. [Except Tests &lifier World Cups] Each year, the particular groups are updated.
4. Improve quality of Approaching teams
To make sure that debutants in ODI competitions come with an worldwide contact with cricket before their debut, worldwide competitions ought to be held. This is what ought to be done.
To obtain connect status, local boards should ensure:
A cricket education program is introduced in schoolsCricket devices are easily availableSufficient playing grounds can be foundWorldwide matches are telecast on liberated to air Television channels and radio.A properly maintained website from the national cricket authority.
To obtain permanent ODI status teams should:
Go 1,two or three within the ICC Connect World Cup.Have a minumum of one accredited (C grade --see gradings below) stadium.see pt 4 above.
To obtain Test Status teams should:
Have having to wait of five years after ODI statusHave a minimum of a b - grade stadiumTogether with all test playing nations &lifier performed top class matches there.Won a minimum of 10 ODI matches against Test nations.
5. Introduction of cutting-edge technology
Personally i think that technology ought to be brought to cricket. This is exactly what cricket needs.
6. The ICC.
Here are a few recommendations towards the ICC
ICC Online
Have the domains like cricket.com, .org, etc.Within the site have detailed info like player and team stats, current news, player profiles, the way the sport is performed, links to national boards, online telecast of matches, history, details and stats, ratings etc.Provide software to calculate the Duckworth Lewis results.Use latest programming languages like XML, SQL, ASP etc. for website.Establishing of blogs and advertising boards.
7. Dealing with the world.
To inspire more nations to consider cricket, cricket should be promoted well. Teams like Malaysia, Nepal, Singapore have a very good program and should be urged to acquire ODI status.
For cricket to achieve success regional sporting titans ought to be given main concern. These nations are regional titans and behave like a catalyst to spread the game to neighbouring nations. The nations are: China, USA, Russia, Germany, France, Italia, The country, Nigeria Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morrocco, Sweden, Fiji, Argentina and South america.
Possess a brand ambassador for cricket. Individuals who know of the sport and therefore are worldwide famous ought to be selected. Names for example Russel Crowe, Shaggy, Christian Vieri (footballer Italia) make good ambassadors.
Cricket ought to be introduced equally to any or all races and ladies ought to be urged to consider the game.
Marketing Blitz
Basically were the leader from the ICC, this is exactly what I'd do in order to promote the game inside a country.
Observe that major sport shops fill up cricket gear.Pitches can easily be bought.Cricket is proven on liberated to air channels.A cricket program is introduced in schools and colleges.Well-known company directors ought to be asked for to create cricket designed movies starring well-known stars.Presenting the game to famous sportmen, political figures, stars, company directors, media personas, businessmen and which makes them benefit from the sport.The next phase might have a advertising blitz in famous newspapers, magazines, top websites, TV, radio. The advertisements ought to be run for any month approximately. Promotions showing the nation's top personas supporting cricket ought to be broadcast. _ Nothing beats getting the nation's premier within the promo.The marketing blitz should cummulated with top worldwide teams playing together with the host nation inside a tournament.
(B) Rules that has to be transformed:
1) Removal of the lower limb-bye rule.
The Lb rule is fairly unfair towards the bowler. By elimination this type of rule allows the batsman to experience in the ball, rather than getting runs from the deflection of his clothing.
2) Direct Hit around the stump renders the ball dead.
At the moment if your fielder hits the stumps directly once the batsman takes a run &lifier he's safe, whether it deflects from it, the batsman can run overthrows (extra runs). By enabling the ball 'dead' it might let the fielders hitting the stumps more frequently. When the batsman went following this, the additional runs could be overruled.
3) Leg-side LBW decision
At the moment, when the ball is pitched outdoors the lower limb-stump, but is really a obvious LBW decision, the batsman isn't out. Because of advances in technology today, we are able to predict an LBW. Hence LBW choices ought to be simplified with this method, when the trajectory seems hitting the stump the Batsman has gone out.
4) Correct Nomenclature
Terms for example leg-spin and off-spin are outdated. Better terms could be wrist spin and finger spin.
(C) Accredation to arenas
The ICC has to start rating arenas. The greater the rating from the stadium more matches it's permitted to carry. Listed here are my parameters. Points are proven alongside in y/n format.
