DUBAI: The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has called for "urgent intervention" to protect international cricket, saying it is at an "important crossroads" amidst a crowded global schedule that is getting increasingly swayed by domestic leagues.
The mushrooming of leagues, including the latest offering of SAT20 and ILT20, is putting a lot of stress on the ICC's Future Tours Programme (FTP), leading to an "alarming disparity" in the number of matches played by a minority of member nations which is neither "equitable nor sustainable", it added.
