No major issues discussed on opening day

The ICC’s five-day annual conference got off to a tepid start yesterday in Hong Kong, with none of the crucial issues – the Decision Review System, constitutional amendments regarding governance, or Associate involvement in the 2015 World cup – being discussed on the opening day. Instead, the first day of meetings contained a presentation on the ICC’s rankings system and discussions on playing conditions.

The major issues up for debate  today, are the Future Tours Programme and whether the DRS should be implemented mandatorily in international cricket.

The ICC annual conference began with a meeting of the chief executives committee yesterday and will be  followed by the executive board meeting, tomorrow and Wednesday and the full council meeting on Thursday. (Cricinfo)
