“IPL in SA is not ideal”

CEO of ICC, Haroon Lorgat has expressed his views on IPL fiasco in an exclusive interview with TSI's Satish Chapparike

How did you react to the shifting of IPL’s venue from India?

Safety and security are paramount, and the IPL is a domestic tournament run by the BCCI. If the organisers and the Indian government fail to agree on the tournament’s venue and schedules, and on how security is to be provided to the players, then the organisers will naturally do whatever is in their own best interests. From the IPL’s perspective, shifting it to SA is not an ideal scenario.

Do you think that the recent terror attacks in Pakistan on the Sri Lankan cricket team will have a long term impact on cricket in the subcontinent?

Security is always a concern, no matter where the game is being played. It is impossible to predict the long term impact of the issue on cricket anywhere. It is something that we have said we will begin to discuss at the ICC’s Board meeting, which is set to take place in Dubai in the middle of next month.

What do you think is going to happen to the 2011 World Cup, which is slated to be held in the subcontinent?

There is currently no plan to change the hosts of the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup – Pakistan, India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh continue to be in the picture. We will be monitoring the situation closely. The event is still scheduled for 2011 in the Indian subcontinent. There is always a back-up venue for any major ICC event – in 2007 the backup for the ICC CWC in the Caribbean was South Africa, and the backup venues for the 2011 event are Australia and New Zealand, something the ICC Board agreed to sometime ago. However, at present we are still committed to the World Cup being held in the subcontinent.

Don’t you think the way IPL is growing, the business generated by it will in time far exceed that of the BCCI and the ICC?

The IPL is owned and run by the BCCI, a member of the ICC. The IPL is a domestic event, and to try to compare it to an ICC international event is not appropriate. ICC events, such as the World Cup and the ICC World Twenty20, involve international teams, which are ICC member countries.

The ICC tried to patch up with both IPL and ICL in India. But the talks have failed. The fact is that a talented bunch of young cricketers in ICL have been denied a chance of representing their country. What do you have to say on this?

The ICC favours a resolution on the ICL issue that’s in the best interests of cricket. It is an issue that will be considered at the ICC’s next Board meeting in Dubai in mid-April. The ICC wishes to resolve the issue and attempted to facilitate a solution between the two parties. But this did not materialise, and so the BCCI is entitled to stick to its stand, and for good reason. The matter will now go before the ICC Board for further consideration.

If the same league trend continues in international cricket, will not Test cricket become extinct?

Test cricket is the pinnacle of our game, cherished by international players as the ultimate in our great sport. Our members have also expressed a desire to ensure the primacy of international cricket, and Test cricket in particular. This is why they have formed a working group made up of representatives of all ICC full members to ensure that Test cricket is promoted, so that it continues to flourish. The ICC and its members believe there is space for all three formats of the game to be embraced by all.
