Hello everyone

The ICC could introduce a dedicated fund from 2025 in an attempt to reinforce Test cricket and allow boards outside the Big Three to compete with more lucrative franchise leagues to ensure they can call upon a bigger pool of their talent.

The initiative, driven primarily by Cricket Australia chair Mark Baird and with the support of the BCCI and ECB, is aimed at creating a central fund to provide a minimum standard match fee for players across the board, reported to be around US $10,000 (approx £7,600). The hope is it will be agreed upon before Christmas in time for it to be fully operational next year.

The fund, which is expected to be in the region of US $15 million (approx £11 million), is understood to have the backing of BCCI secretary Jay Shah and ECB chair Richard Thompson

I think this is good news for players from ICC. The developed countries can't afford to promote a lots sports. I think trounaments should be held city to city. From this descion selector get new youngsters for their team. This suggestions is not only for Pakistan this is recommended for specialy Pakistan, Bangladesh and india. New talent and new face comes out.
