International Cricket Council

Topic Summary

In recent years, cricket has undergone a seismic shift as franchise leagues like the Indian Premier League (IPL), Big Bash League (BBL), Pakistan Super League (PSL) and others have captured global attention, redefining the sport's financial landscape. While these tournaments have fueled unprecedented growth and visibility, they have also raised serious concerns about the marginalization of traditional formats such as One Day Internationals and Test matches. This committee will explore the complex tension between commercial success and preserving the heritage, integrity, and long-form beauty of the game. Delegates will be tasked with crafting sustainable solutions that honor cricket's enduring legacy while navigating the realities of modern sports economics.

Prior knowledge of cricket will not be useful by any means - watching the game provides little context to the current level of commercialization. This committee will be accessible to everyone, regardless of whether you have ever watched a minute of cricket or not! As long as you like sports, you will have a LOT of fun!
