ICC cricket committee concerned about the declining quality of sports

The ICC cricket committee, told about various factors that affects the quality of the sport, i.e. the size and dimension of bats and the quality of Test pitches.

"The committee discussed a number of issues regarding Test cricket, also concerned about the quality of Test pitches, and the common practice of home countries overtly preparing surfaces to suit their own teams," an ICC release stated.

As per release said, The committee also asked the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) to "strongly consider" limiting the dimensions of bats to restore balance in the game. "MCC sought the committee's guidance on the desirability of making changes in order to redress the balance between bat and ball. The committee received a research paper from MCC citing a wealth of scientific and statistical evidence showing bats have become more powerful in recent years, primarily due to having larger 'sweet-spots’”.
