NEW FACES IN AT ASCON FOLLOWING CHINESE TAKEOVER! ASIAN CUP SET TO GO AHEAD!
August 21st 2002


New ASCON President Long Hui'an​

In the early morning hours of today members of the Asian Confederation of Nations (ASCON) board voted to remove all Indian representatives following the collapse of the Cricket Board of India (CBI) back in July and following a bid for reform by the Chinese Cricket Association (CCA) to restart activities in full earnest which was submitted back on August 18th to the best of our understanding. The arrangement will see Chinese national Long Hui'an leave her current position as the CCA's Director of Domestic Cricket and take over the presidency of the currently stagnant association after only four months of CBI management. Several new members of the ASCON board have also been added, most of whom are Chinese nationals which has led to some outlets referring to the change of management as a coup of ASCON and its current identity which some fear may cause the confederation to become more of a CCA puppet institution, with some of these fears being further expanded upon by the simultaneous announcement that China will host the 2002 Asian Cup in its traditional autumn timeslot with a current tentative schedule putting the tournament between November and December of this year. In her inaugural speech to the press following the announcement of her ascension to the position, Long Hui'an gave the following:

"When I chose to become this Confederation's president I swore to myself that I will not rest until the Confederation is once again a leading association within the international cricketing community. For that over the past year not only has this Confederation but also the continent of Asia as a whole has been punched down upon by those who have come from those associations who have openly thrown around their western made assets to dominate the international landscape and looking down upon the rest of the world from their safe haven in the West. No more will this confederation and the continent it represents shall be looked down upon as one of disunity and disorder but one unified in its goal towards achieving international success as one collective against those who see themselves instinctively as superior."​

Some have commented that the President's comments were distasteful however many within the new board have apparently overlooked these. Some are also surprised that the CCA has managed to make this bid at all with internal opposition to the idea having existed since the crisis began, mainly being led by the National Cricket Association of China (NCA) who have argued that China should not interact with the international community at all and argues that their way of playing the game is the only "pure method" of playing it though international observers will likely disagree. Despite these issues it appears that ASCON is now unified to some extent and with an Asian Cup set to take place in November on very short notice it waits to be seen just how successful this will all play out.

@isFEISARfair any plans for a Test Asia Cup?

@isFEISARfair any plans for a Test Asia Cup?

In a World Cup year? And you consider yourself a cricket administrator? SHAME.

Why not? We can fill some slots before the World Cup. Giving up a chance for extra broadcast revenue, and you consider yourself a cricket administrator? SHAME.

@isFEISARfair any plans for a Test Asia Cup?

My original plan was to run some sort of Asian Test Championship over a two year period similar to the actual World Test Championship, however I quickly came to the realization that it simply wasn't possible and it would of required establishing several windows for tours which I felt would of been too disrupting. I then tried to find a more conventional format that could work but felt that it wouldn't really fit in well so the initial idea for the ATC as I envisioned it was put back in the scrap-bin for the time being. 2005 should be when it does get started though the format is still a bit of bother.

What about something like this, but maybe with 2 groups of 4? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1998–99_Asian_Test_Championship

Remember that you can only have either test or odi cup in a year.

Yeah we can convert this or the 2004 one to Test.

 

[isFEISARfair]

Yeah we can convert this or the 2004 one to Test.

That would be subject to both bidders agreeing to a change in what is being bid for.

Also can someone remove the poll in this thread? Apparently you cannot remove polls manually for some odd reason.
