ICC Mulling Moving its Headquarters to Lord’s
The news of the ICC moving its headquarters to Lord’s has shocked the world of cricket.
Even David Morgan while answering the questions during a press conference at the ICC headquarters in Dubai was reluctant to answer the very question.
He admitted: “It is a difficult question to answer. I wanted to avoid this question. But I want to make it clear that it has got nothing to do with the sudden economic downturn in Dubai.
“The decision to investigate relocation and not decide to relocate was taken on October 6 when there were no signs of economic crisis. I think it will help you understand the position.”
After spending a huge amount of money and with the state-of-the-art facilities at Dubai Sports City it looks bizarre to move headquarters out of the UAE.
Morgan added: “The board will look into all options, it may be shifted to Lord’s or anywhere else. And there are chances that we may stay here.”
The world cricket’s governing body has been based in the UAE since moving from offices at Lord’s in 2005.
The board has reappointed Ian Bishop and Mark Taylor to the ICC Cricket Committee as media representatives and also ratified the reappointment of Kumar Sangakkara and Tim May as current player representatives and India’s Gary Kirsten as the representative of national coaches following the recent resignation of Mickey Arthur.
Following Cricket Ireland’s expression of intent to apply for full or enhanced Membership of the ICC, the board has approved a three-step process recommended by the Governance Review Committee which begins with a review of categories of membership.
Morgan felt very sad when was asked about return of international cricket to Pakistan.
“Frankly speaking, it really hurts me when I see there is no cricket in Pakistan. A country which has produced some of the most stylish and best cricketers in the world suffering from the lack of game.
“Sadly, I don’t see international teams travelling to Pakistan in near future keeping in mind the security situation in the country.”
