The ICC Champions Trophy, which will be held in England
"We have said for a while that we would like one championship event for each format. We are including the Test championship in there. We have the World Cup to have the champion for 50-overs cricket. So we are not planning to hold Champions Trophy in the future," The Nation quoted ICC Chief Executive, Haroon Lorgat, as saying.

So we are not planning to hold Champions Trophy in the future," The Nation quoted ICC Chief Executive, Haroon Lorgat, as saying.
The ICC had initially hoped to change the format of the Champions Trophy, to that of play-offs between the top four Test teams as per the ICC Test rankings.
However, following a ICC's executive board meeting in 2011, they released its statement which cited there would be significant commercial challenges in replacing the Champions Trophy without the support and consent of the ICC's broadcast partner, ESPN and changing the tournament's format from ODIs to Test play-offs would require a substantial cut in the broadcast rights fee, which would supposedly have repercussions on the Members.
The second-biggest 50-over tournament of ICC will be held in 2013
The International Cricket Council (ICC) has decided to expand the 2014 World Twenty20 in Bangladesh Dubai
The associate members were unhappy after the ICC refused to increase the number of teams for this year's World Twenty20 (T20I) in Sri Lanka
The ICC during its executive board meeting here Sunday received a report of the strategic discussions held at the Chief Executive’s Committee (CEC) in March 2012 and confirmed that from 2014 onwards, the number of teams participating in the World Twenty20 will be increased from 12 to 16. The event should remain a joint men’s and women’s event.
The board also said that three additional Twenty20 Internationals may be played in the year in which the ICC World Twenty20 is being staged provided there is a corresponding reduction in the maximum number of permitted ODIs. As per ICC Scheduling guidelines, the current regulations permit a maximum of 12 T20Is for each full member in any one year.
“The need to manage volume of cricket was considered when agreeing to allow the additional T20Is to be played in a year,” ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat said in a statement Monday.
The board also confirmed the hosting for the ICC World Twenty20 2014 qualifying tournament in the United Arab Emirates in October 2013 and the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 qualifying event in New Zealand in 2014.This decision will be useful for associate country like Nepal and their dreams to play T20 world cup may come true
The ICC has already commenced with planning for its new rights cycle post 2015 and a key prerequisite of this is to determine the ICC events that will be staged.

To get the details about the decision of the ICC meeting in dubai
The International Cricket Council (ICC) Executive Board will hold the second of its scheduled 2012 meetings in Dubai
The major topics on the agenda are:
In April 2011, the ICC had adopted a new strategic plan which identified the need for an independent governance review as one of its key strategic initiatives to ‘build a bigger, better global game’.
In August 2011, after confirming the scope for the review, the ICC Board appointed Lord Woolf of Barnes and PricewaterhouseCoopers to conduct the review.
Following extensive engagement with a wide range of stakeholders, Lord Woolf and PwC presented at the last ICC Board meeting their 60 page report which contains 65 recommendations. The Board had agreed to study the report at this April meeting

Following extensive engagement with a wide range of stakeholders, Lord Woolf and PwC presented at the last ICC Board meeting their 60 page report which contains 65 recommendations. The Board had agreed to study the report at this April meeting
 |
| ICC Logo |
The report highlights four fundamental issues:
1. Ensuring good governance – an effective Board that provides strong leadership.
2. Ethical standards – essential for ICC to embed the highest ethical standards with Members expected to adopt similar standards.
3. The reform of Members’ rights – particularly removing the obligation to play Test cricket.
4. Increasing the resources of the ICC – a self-funded ICC that distributes surplus revenue on a needs basis in its role to promote and develop international cricket across all Members.
The recommendations are summarised into five main areas:
Role of the ICC
· The ICC Board
· Ethics
· Membership, Board structure and Committees
· Funding
ICC Vice-President (2012-2014) nomination
The ICC has received the joint nomination of Mustafa Kamal from the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) as the next ICC Vice-President and who will succeed Mr Alan Isaac as the ICC President in 2014.
Following a Board resolution to change the constitution to split the role of ICC President and Chairman of the Board, this nomination is yet to be considered by the Board.
The Board will also receive an update on progress made to replace Haroon Lorgat who vacates the position of Chief Executive at the end of the Annual Conference in June 2012. The executive recruitment firm, Egon Zehnder International, is presently conducting a search for a suitable candidate.
Twenty20 strategy and other CEC recommendations for Board consideration
Following constructive discussions at the March meeting of the Chief Executive’s Committee (CEC), the ICC Board will also discuss and contribute towards enhancing the strategy for Twenty20 cricket in developing the game and managing volume.
The CEC has recommended that the ICC World T20 should remain a joint men’s and women’s event and should be increased to 16 men’s teams from 2014 onwards.
In addition, CEC also recommended that -
· the maximum number of T20s allowed in the year in which the ICC World Twenty20 is played should be increased by three (twelve to fifteen per Full Member);
Associate and Affiliate Members should consider submitting a proposal to stage an ICC WT20 event in a key developing market;
the current ranking systems be retained in their current form and are fit for the purposes of qualification to ICC events and promotion/relegation;
a preliminary/high level independent evaluation of participation in multi-sport events be undertaken and that the invitation to take part in the Commonwealth Games to be held on the Gold Coast in Australia in April 2018 be explored;
a framework for the recognition of various types of disability cricket be developed.
