Apparently, Papon bhai is hiding. seems to have run away from the country. I feel there is a realistic chance that some other country would emerge as the new hosts. In times of political concerns, I don't think BD should host an event of this stature.

This sounds positive, although I wonder if the fund will be in order to maintain the amount of test cricket being played. One would hope it may lead to more of it.

ICC plan multi-million boost for Test cricket via dedicated cash fund

Test cricket is poised for the introduction of a dedicated fund as the International Cricket Council looks to boost match fees and stem the talent drain to lucrative franchise leagues

I am really interested in knowing how they give out the ratings. The day aint far when the ICC will be held accountable and will be forced to ring in changes that make their decision making ultra transparent.
