ICC forms committee to review T20 World Cup delivery, incurs $20 million losses, USAC given 12 months to comply.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) on July 22 formed a three-member committee to "review the delivery" of the T20 World Cup which was co-hosted by the USA and the West Indies last month.
The committee features former New Zealand batter Roger Twose and two other directors Lawson Naidoo and Imran Khwaja, who is the deputy chair of the ICC.
"The ICC Board confirmed that there will be a review into the delivery of the ICC T20 World Cup. This will be overseen by three directors, Roger Twose, Lawson Naidoo and Imran Khwaja who will report back to the Board later in the year," an ICC release stated.
It is understood that ICC incurred losses in excess of $20 million for conducting matches in New York, Florida and Dallas.
It is learnt that the allocated budget for the U.S. leg of the tournament was around $150 million and it was found that the budget had overshot by a fair distance which was red-flagged by certain influential board members of the global body.
Poor quality of drop-in pitches, ticketing system and the logistical issues added to the ICC's woes. A close look at how various tenders were handed out also raised concerns.
It is understood that the role of some top ICC executives will also be thoroughly looked into by the committee.
