• World Cricketers’ Association calls for reform of calendar
• WCA also wants modernisation of global governing body

The World Cricketers’ Association has called for reform of the global calendar and of the International Cricket Council, the world game’s governing body, describing the current schedule as “chaotic and confusing”.

In a report published on Wednesday, based on interviews with 64 stakeholders including the Australia Test captain, Pat Cummins and England’s Jos Buttler, the WCA demanded that the ICC be “modernised” to “ensure it is fit for purpose to lead the global game”, criticising its “lack of centralised global leadership”.
