ICC not serious about associates: Howard Petrook

With the ICC annual conference set to begin in Barbados on Monday, former vice-president of Canada Cricket Howard Petrook has accused the world governing body of short-sightedness as far as growing the sport among the Associate member countries was concerned.

Hitting out at ICC, Petrook said the world governing body was not serious about making cricket an Olympic sport, which would have helped them get more sanctions from the government.

"Time and again the ICC fails to help countries like not only Canada but Ireland, Holland and Scotland. It's not me who says so, everybody in the associate countries will tell you that. They have Bangladesh and Zimbabwe as Full Members but they aren't strong countries.

"A Full Member gets about 20-30 million USD a year. Give that money to Ireland or Canada and I absolutely guarantee you in five years we would be beating those smaller Test countries," Petrook, who is the chairman of cricket at the Toronto's iconic Cricket, Skating and Curling Club, told PTI in an interview.

ICC knows Guyana .....from wayyy b4 Rohan Kanhai !

Guyana cricket is older than ICC 

With the icc now being under the control of the top 3 cricketing nations, the scope for growth has been diminished and now it is all about the profits for these nations. It is a good thing that India has such a huge population because the number of cricketing viewers would have long been reduced.

Guyanans can become part of Indian den..so deh may get something from separation ::LOL:: ::LOL:: ::LOL::
