TI ICC Governance Submission
The nature of cricket and corruption have both changed in the past decade. Transparency International (TI) welcomes the launch of ICC’s Governance Review, as it is a timely opportunity to review the corruption risks facing the game of cricket, and strengthen the game’s institutional response.
TI believes that:
• Urgent action is needed to understand and address the changing nature of the corruption risks that face the game of cricket in the 21st century;
• The ICC needs to widen the focus of its response to encompass the larger corruption challenges facing the game;
• This will require the ICC to take more responsibility for standard-setting applicable to the cricket boards of member countries;
• The ICC itself needs to be more accountable and transparent;
• The ICC should seek to follow international best practice in the sphere of governance, including transparency and anti-corruption measures. This best practice may be found in other sporting bodies, governments, non-profit organisations or business.
TI makes 20 specific recommendations, to be found below in Section 10. TI would welcome the ICC’s response to these recommendations and a dialogue on how they might be taken forward.
