India or South Africa may host Super Series

The International Cricket Council plans to organise a unique Super Series between the team heading the ICC Championship table and a World XI. The series, which will include a Test and three one-dayers, is likely to be hosted by either India or South Africa.

The decision on the host and the time of the series will be decided in the five-day general body meeting of the ICC, beginning in London today. The Super Series will mostly be held at the end of the year and in all probability, will see Australia taking on the stars from the Rest of the World.

The other issue that will be discussed in the meeting is the crisis in Zimbabwe, whose future in Test cricket hangs in the balance, with many foreign teams being very reluctant to tour. The shifting of the ICC's headquarters from London, the allocation of venues for the 2007 World Cup in West Indies, and the appointment of a vice-president will also be part of the agenda.
