Stephen Brenkley of the Independent caught up with the former head of the Federation of International Cricketers' Association Tim May, who predicted a grim future for cricket if a majority of the game's finances are consolidated in one country.
Out of the countries that play international cricket, let's not paint a rosy picture here: Zimbabwe essentially broke, Sri Lankan cricket essentially broke, Bangladesh essentially broke or thereabouts, Pakistan, I don't think they're doing very well financially, the West Indies cricket board broke.
We have got a model where there is going to be a moment in time where a number of Test-playing countries are actually going to fall over. We can't keep muddling on, the financial model needs to change and has to change.
