Rikki's reserve price puts him in the same financial category as mainly current international players. A few bargains to be picked up at £50,000, especially many current Sri Lankan international players, some exciting West Indians (Andre Russell, Devendra Bishoo), Doug Bracewell of New Zealand. and Tamim Iqbal of Bangladesh.

The Woolf report says that looking after the interests of ICC members has been coming before developing, promoting and protecting world cricket. On top of that, the ICC has paid out good money to KPMG to find out that at the last World Cup, they didn't make sufficient tickets available to the public, didn't have central control and management of tickets and didn't keep effective records.
I thought the I in ICC stood for International but it seems like it stands for Incompetent.
It will be interesting (if maybe even more depressing) to see how much of the Woolf report is accepted.]]> If you want to get depressed about the way in which the ICC has been running international cricket, this article is a good starting point:
