The MCC World Cricket Committee, which includes former India captain Sourav Ganguly among others, feels the ICC's decision to limit the ODI World Cup to10 teams is a "retrograde step" and detrimental to the sport's chances of finding a place in the Olympics. The committee met at Lord's over the last two days– the first gathering for new members Ganguly, Ricky Ponting and Ramiz Raja, and the last for outgoing members Rahul Dravid and Steve Bucknor. The committee believes that the ICC Cricket World Cup should be a twelve-team tournament. It urged the ICC Board to reconsider its position and take a decision that it believes is in the best interests of the global game.The committee also recommended that every effort should be made to make cricket an Olympic sport.
