Tony Greig calls for end to India 'domination' of ICC

Former England captain Tony Greig has called for an end to India's "domination" of the International Cricket Council, saying it would be the first thing he'd 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.
"They tell Zimbabwe, Bangladesh and one or two other countries what to do and they always get the vote.
"It's 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 hey listen, 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.
