The letters stood for Imperial Cricket Conference, and membership was open only to nations belonging to the British Empire.

The Australians will have a new captain themselves in the form of Michael Clarke, but his deputy Watson wondered aloud at Dilshan`s chances of emulating the results and the universal respect won by Sangakkara during his time as leader.
