The rejection by Sri Lanka comes at a time when the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has opposed ICC's proposal.
The ICC proposal aims to concentrate management of world cricket in the hands of just three cricketing nations including England, Australia and India. The proposal has become a contentious issue and was rejected by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
A similar stance has been adopted by Cricket South Africa also who had initially termed the position paper presented by the Big Three ‘fundamentally flawed’ The ICC executive committee has said ‘all rights of Sri Lanka Cricket will be safeguarded in the reforms.’
However, the proposal has secured support from some of the smaller cricketing nations such as Bangladesh.
The once mighty West Indies predict that they will get a hundred per cent increase in revenue after restructuring takes place. New Zealand too seems to have sided with the proposal.
A voting on the draft is expected to be made in the next ICC meeting scheduled to take place in Singapore on February 8.
