The International Cricket Council (ICC), has reversed a decision which effectively handed control of the sport to India, England and Australia.
The world governing body decided in 2014 that the 'big three' should have more power over how the game is run and its financial split. But at a meeting in Dubai, the ICC board voted to pass a new financial model and governance structure. The changes will have to be ratified by the ICC's full council in June. The 2014 changes had angered other large cricketing nations such as South Africa and Pakistan.
However, the reversal is likely to upset India which has been demanding a $570 million cut from ICC revenues but will now receive $293 million.
The board voted 13-1 in favour of the financial changes and local media have reported that India was the only dissenting voice.
