Can somebody, anybody, tell me how we (Bangladesh) stand to benefit if Lotus Kamal is nominated for the vice-presidency of the ICC? My understanding is that his Pak-tour diplomacy has everything to do with being nominated for said post, and nothing to do with strengthening our cricket.
That being the case, surely there must be some benefit to the country? By becoming ICC VP (and eventually president), will Bangladesh cricket miraculously attract untold millions in funding? Will new grounds be stamped out of the ground in every town and village across the country? Will the ICC all of sudden send international coaches for every age-group, every village, every school, etc? Will we get 5 test/ODI series a year?
In short, is Kamal's maneuvering an entirely personal endeavor or does the country gain something in the process as well? If solely the former, why has the government not stepped in and fired his sorry a$$ by now? Is he holding her Ladyship, the honourable PM, ransom in some way?
