Ex-ICC chief fears for game's future

London - Former ICC president Ehsan Mani on Wednesday expressed grave fears about cricket's future, saying he is "more concerned about the health of the game today than I have ever been".

Mani criticised the world governing body's decision to reduce the 2019 World Cup to 10 teams and said that many of the game's 10 Full Member nations faced serious challenges.

"A year has passed since the changes at the ICC," Mani said at the launch of the new Wisden Cricketers' Almanack at Lord's, in reference to last year's takeover at the ICC by the boards of England, India and Australia.
