Does China need ICC help to develop cricket?

It appears that ICC is presumptuous enough to conclude that China needs their help. In fact, it has charged IS Bindra, its principal advisor,to focus on"developing the game in China".

Going by China's track record they are immensely capable of developing the game by themselves and if and when cricket is included in the Olympics they will emerge as the team to beat.

IS Bindra will surely be limited to the role of an awed bystander.

History repeating itself?

i am least surprised by ICC 'sudden' interest in china after seeing them hosting olympics spectacularly...

there is magnanimous potential of untapped ocean of money to be squeezed of in the name of cricket and there ICC can 'help' china...

or is it ICC helping themselves?

Pan,

ICC is trying to get a toe- hold in China. The fact is China can become a cricketing power house without ICC's help. :0
