Removed from an ICC committee following allegations of pressure from India, Tim May has said it was time someone "stood up to the cancer of stand-over tactics" that defines cricket's governing body.
Preferring not to say it in as many words, former Australian spinner and FICA boss Tim May today made a veiled reference to his ouster from the ICC's Cricket Committee, saying he is more interested in the apex body "policing" and maintaining its stated "governance".
After his controversial election to the ICC Cricket Committee, Laxman Sivaramakrishnan today said he would bring in fresh ideas to take the sport forward and added that his predecessor Tim May has done his bit.
A miffed Federation of International Cricketers Association, on Tuesday, demanded an ICC ethics committee enquiry into BCCI-backed L Sivaramakrishnan's appointment as a players' representative in the governing body, saying captains could have been forced to vote against incumbent Tim May.
In an appointment that was backed by the BCCI, former India leg-spinner Laxman Sivaramakrishnan replaced Tim May as a players' representative on the ICC Cricket Committee.
