Malcolm Speed Board Quotations

If the ICC had overturned the decision of the match referee that would have been an invitation for this to happen the next time any board is dissatisfied with the decision an ICC official makes.

Once the ICC executive board has received this report, we will be in a position to identify what further steps cricket can take to tackle this issue before it spreads beyond the incidents that have taken place in Australia.

The chief executives of the Australia and South Africa boards and I will come back with recommendations for a change, if any, to the ICC anti-racism policy during the April 30 meeting.

The effect of this decision is that the FTP is binding on all of the members of ICC, including BCCI. Any attempt by a member to amend it unilaterally without the consent of the ICC executive board is invalid.
