Kasprowicz Presses The Case For Change

Join 24/7 Cricket News For More Updates

Most recent decision maker Cricket Australia, Michael Kasprowicz, joined the board of Cricket Australia as an unrepentant advocate a fundamental change in the management of the game.

Kasprowicz is among the most amiable men in cricket, and as a rapid test match bowler was among the biggest heart and ingenuity of practitioners. But it is also a keen observer and thinker, and a little over three years, he was in disgrace with Cricket Australia as one of the major players decamped to the Indian Cricket League.

Promotion to the board of CA itself is a product of the reform, which is Queensland Cricket last year amended its constitution to prevent state officials from holding positions of the National Council. Kasprowicz did not hesitate to report more than was needed at the headquarters of CA.

"I do not think [my position] will change too," said Kasprowicz ESPNcricinfo. "At some point there will be various arguments, but one of the major corporate governance is in the game.

"Look at what the AFL [Australian Football] are made by the consultants, David Crawford and Colin Carter, and in such a way that the AFL has just blossomed since making changes to an independent commission to manage the game and look after the welfare of game. Now is the review of Crawford and Carter, cricket, a position that we're going to some real benefit from the adoption of these types of changes in cricket. "

Walking on the table when the president of the Association Kasprowicza Australian cricket is the last year completed his own game, trading and research background to be able to administrative and economic landscape of Cricket Australia.

"One thing that I think can bring to the table a certain freshness, a freshness of ideas, but also to use the cliché -. A mixture of youth and experience means a lot now," he said. "In 19 years I have played cricket Queensland and the years since, participating as speaker in the comment box, but also as president of the ACA, I saw a change in the Cricket Australia. From the day I started where we are today.

"So I was involved in the game throughout, and I can bring that experience to the board. What I have always found is the only thing the game has always been and always needs, c ' is passion, passion for the game

"There is no segment of the community more passionate than cricket players, who actually represented their state or to represent their country because there is a passion for the game to keep up, keep it on the top where it should be, and that's what I can certainly bring. "

This passion is T20, but unlike its predecessor, the Board of Directors of Matthew Hayden, Kasprowicza expressed a more equitable balance between the T20 and the view at the end of the game. Test Cricket, he says, will benefit from a new audience to get through the T20.

"After playing the first season in England when it first came out [in 2003] I have been involved in the game and see where it comes from," Kasprowicz said. "I think it's a great vehicle, a re-branding of the game of cricket and put it on the shelf of a whole new market. It is what it is designed to do.

"It is not designed to support, it's something I do not think we can do, but what he will do is to introduce the game to new people, new clients, while they come and enjoy the game, take the exit. In the introduction they get to appreciate the skill of the game.

"For those who love the game of cricket, which is certainly one, we all know the best way to test your knowledge of cricket is Test cricket, so eventually I hope that [T20 convert] customers will be able to play cricket in the long period. And 'a challenge for cricket is at the moment is that eating a young market. "

Task of cricket in Australia is to capture the young, the old well, and Kasprowicz did not hesitate to say the resources that former players were used. As a participant ICL Kasprowicz was outcast for some time in a manner similar to Jason Gillespie, and said that the loss of a generation of players had contributed greatly to the Australian team now pitiful state.

"Take a look at the time when Australian cricket went through a depression, and how it correlates with all visits rebel, if you will," said Kasprowicz. "We had the World Series Cricket and went through a crisis, rebel tours to South Africa, and there was a crisis and then suddenly, IPL / ICL and.

"And the reason I think that will happen is that you're still losing the best players, but the next rung of players, older players in domestic cricket. Account there were three different times when this happened. ICL is one of those things where a lot of experienced players, home game we have been told not to return and not to participate.

"One of the greatest resources that our own games, players and former players, as far as experience, coaching and opinions, that's what we have. From the perspective of a player, there's something I do not expect that we have captured so that we could or should. "

Kasprowicza are some plans to re-organize the first, but it will be in the presence of CA Board of Directors at its next meeting on 18 August 19 when the results of the review led by Don Argus in the Australian team's performance is scheduled for consideration.

"There are a number of studies are implemented in Australian cricket, one on corporate governance, including Don Argus, cricket and also a review of finances," said Kasprowicz. "There will be results out of it, and you would think that there will be good results there and the means to take cricket forward."
