WCA Launches Independent Review to Address Cricket's 'Chaotic' Structure

The World Cricketers Association (WCA) is conducting an independent review to address the sport's chaotic and confusing global schedule, as well as issues related to player employment and the economics of cricket. A panel including Sana Mir and Tom Harrison will lead the review, consulting players and administrators to propose comprehensive solutions.

The World Cricketers Association (WCA) has announced an independent review of cricket's structure, aiming to solve the 'confusing and chaotic' global scheduling and other pressing issues. The review will target global scheduling, economics, and player employment, contracting, and regulation.

Led by ex-Pakistan women's captain Sana Mir and former ECB CEO Tom Harrison, the review will consult players, administrators, and franchise owners. 'The current model is broken and unsustainable,' the WCA stated.

WCA chair Heath Mills criticized cricket's leadership for failing to create a coherent global structure, revealing that players are being forced to choose between their country and career optimization due to scheduling conflicts. The review aims to offer solutions for a sustainable and clear future for the sport.
