Absence of players' Associations in India and Pakistan is a big concern for FICA

The absence of players' Associations in India and Pakistan is a "big concern" for FICA and the issue was discussed on the first day of the ICC five-day meeting, which began here today.

Formation of a players Association is one of the recommendations made by the Supreme Court-appointed Lodha Committee as the whole idea is to give the cricketers "a voice to raise their concerns" while barring them from forming a "trade union of any sort."
"India is definitely a dominant force in cricket and as a result of number of people are following the sport. ICC consists of the 12 full member countries. India really dominate the decision making in ICC."
Clarifying that they do not work as agents, the official said: "We are involved in the collective not the individual cricketer's right. We are not individual agents."
