Cricket South Africa (CSA) has decided to support ICC revamp proposals while Sri Lanka Cricket has decided to abstain from voting, sources said.

The ICC executive board is meeting now in Singapore to take a vote for proposals that will change governance structure of ICC, they said.

Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and South Africa protested against the resolution. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) has changed its stand since and joined the Big Three (India,Australia and England) under the assurance that Bangladesh’s Test status won’t be compromised and also, the big teams will play bilateral series against them. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) still remain adamant.

The proposals require the consent of eight out of ten ‘full member’ boards and as of now the ‘big three’ have eight in their favour with the South Africa's support.(Channaka de Silva)

Looks like Sri Lanka tea team will have to tour Pakistan. Serves them right for trying to act too smart. So many people thought that S.Africa and Bangladesh were genuinely anti-Indian/Hindu which is why they were so popular here. Now that S.Africa and Bangladesh have joined the big three it looks like Sri Lanka tea team and Pakistan radicals will be alone.
