Summary Tony Greig has called for an end to India's domination of the International Cricket Council.
Former England captain Tony Greig has called for an end to Indias domination of the International Cricket Council, saying it would be the first thing he would change if he was in charge of the governing body. Number one, we have got to try and get the ICC right, Greig said. We have a situation at the moment where the ICC is dominated by India.He said, They tell Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and one or two other countries what to do and they always get the vote. It is very hard, but somehow we have got to change things at that level. South Africa-born Greig added: We are playing too much cricket. I would be getting all the countries from the world and saying what is this nonsense of giving Indian domestic cricket an open window?”To give the IPL (Indian Premier League) an open window, and reduce by two months the time available for cricketers to play around the world, in the current environment is just ridiculous. We have got to look very, very closely and make sure we do not destroy the cornerstone of the game which is Test cricket. It is laughable that (Chris) Gayle and (Kieron) Pollard are playing in the IPL when the West Indies are playing Pakistan - that is just ridiculous, he added.
