ACA blasts T20 WC
Pti, Melbourne
Australian Cricketers' Association Chief Paul Marsh has criticised the International Cricket Council for premature staging of the Twenty20 World Cup this year, saying the initial focus should be its development at domestic level."The administrators need to work out, is Twenty20 serious cricket or is it purely entertainment. The way that it started off, it was very much entertainment," Marsh said. "All of a sudden, you introduce a world championship (to be played in South Africa in September) like they've done and it legitimises this form of the game," he was quoted as saying by 'The Sydney Telegraph'. Many countries, including India and Sri Lanka, don't have a domestic twenty20 tournament yet. "We couldn't understand how the ICC were putting together a world championship when it had not even formalised what its position was on Twenty20 cricket. Domestically is where the initial focus should be."
