ICC board grapples with cricket’s wide-ranging global issues

According to the subsequent press release, the outcome was “a series of decisions aimed at strengthening governance, supporting women’s cricket, enhancing global competition structures and fostering innovation in the game.” We should all applaud those headline intentions, but what lies behind them needs to be unpicked. Starting with women’s cricket, it is mainly good news.
