The ICC is keen to increase the number of teams playing cricket at the highest level to 15-16, and is working towards that under the leadership of Shashank Manohar, according to chief executive David Richardson.The ICC has a strategy to have more competitive teams playing at the highest level, Richardson said in Sri Lanka, where he was at the invitation of SLC and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president Thilanga Sumathipala to discuss the global development of the game. For too long we had 10 Full Members. If we are honest with ourselves, there are eight, probably nine, teams that can play cricket at the highest level.We like to increase that number to 15-16 countries [with] the likes of Afghanistan, Nepal, Malaysia and various other countries in the Asian region. Its very important that we can develop their cricket to a level where they can play against the big boys on an equal basis.Richardson said the global governing body was on the verge of putting forward some proposals that would do wonders for international cricket. Those proposals would cover governance and a new revised financial model, which would hopefully provide all the Full Members with a bigger slice of the cake than what it is currently envisaged, he said.In early 2014, a constitutional revamp of the ICC had given the boards of India, England and Australia greater authority and a larger share of the revenue, an episode dubbed the Big Three takeover by the media. Soon after he became ICC chairman in November 2015, Manohar had criticised the imbalance of power triggered by that revamp, and said he wanted to end the bullying in the games administration.Richardson said he was confident the game will not be affected by another such power war under the current administration. The international game has gone through a period of turbulence, where the governance, the financial model, the playing [of the game] was in turmoil by the resolutions passed by the ICC in 2014. What happened in 2014 took place because unfortunately countries like South Africa, Sri Lanka and New Zealand were not able to stand up to the big boys. I dont think that will happen again.He said the ICC also wanted the ACC to use its resources to develop the game, and the global governing body would provide it with guidance and strategy. Obviously we [the ICC] are responsible for global development, but our resources are limited. Its important that the ACC, with the resources they have both from a financial and a HR perspective, make best use of those. We want to provide the guidance, principles, overall strategy. [It is important that] the activities that we can carry out at global level are supplemented by what the ACC can afford to do on a regional basis.Matt Shoemaker Jersey . -- Brandon Jennings made the most of his first game with the Detroit Pistons on Sunday night.

WASHINGTON -- The Washington Nationals have had trouble winning games since the All-Star Break. When they have come out on top, its been dramatic. Ryan Zimmerman homered with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning Friday night, lifting the Nationals to a 2-1 victory over the New York Mets for a doubleheader split. "Just worked into a good count and finally didnt try to do too much," Zimmerman said. "Good win. I mean obviously with Harvey starting its tough to get any runs, but (Ross) Ohlendorf stuck there right with him, and after the way that first game went, that was a huge win." After Washingtons second walk-off win in two days, struggling setup man Drew Storen was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse. The Nationals improved to 2-7 since the break. In the opener, Jenrry Mejia pitched seven scoreless innings in his season debut and Daniel Murphy homered twice and tied a career high with five RBIs as Mets won 11-0. Murphy had two hits for New York in the nightcap and went 6 for 9 in the day-night doubleheader. After Anthony Rendon grounded out, Zimmerman hit a 3-1 fastball from reliever LaTroy Hawkins (3-2) over the fence in right centre for his 12th homer of the year. The Mets wasted another impressive outing by Matt Harvey, who gave up five hits and an unearned run in eight innings. Rafael Soriano (2-2) pitched the ninth, surviving a first and third jam with one out. Jayson Werth added three hits for Washington. Manager Davey Johnson announced Storens demotion. "Theres (been) a lot of discussion about it, even before now, that maybe, hes never had failure, hes never had to deal with failure, and this is kind of a sharp lesson in dealing with failure," Johnson said of Storen. "I mean, we couldve done different things with different players, but I think its going to be best served for him to get it right and get it back." Storen is 3-2 with two saves and a 5.95 ERA. The Nationals activated reliever Ryan Mattheus from the disabled list Friday as the 26th man for the doubleheader. Storen entered the ninth inning of Game Five of the NL Divisional Playoff series in October with a two-run lead and gave up four runs as the St. Louis Cardinals ended Washingtons season. In the off-season, the Nationals singed free-agent closer Rafael Soriano. "I think theres a lot of things that led to this that couldve been prevented," reliever Tyler Clippard, Storens close friend, said. "You know, you basically send a guy a message this off-season for having one bad game that hes not the guy for the job. Hes only human. Its going to get to anybody." Storen was unavailable after the game. "Its one of those things that I think was handled very poorly by the organization, but at the same time, thats the decision that was made, and we have to move forward as a team," Clippard said. "We have great guys in this locker room that are going to get it done, were going to make a playoff push at the end of the season. I have no doubt about that, but you know, this is a tough day." Pitching on the onne-year anniversary his major league debut, Harvey struck out seven and walked one.ddddddddddddHe left after throwing 99 pitches. "I was locating everything pretty well," Harvey said. "The fastball command was right on point. I was keeping everything down." Washington starter Ross Ohlendorf, making his second start of the season, went seven innings. He allowed one run on six hits while striking out eight and walking two. With one out in the fourth New Yorks Josh Satin doubled. Ohlendorf fanned Justin Turner, but John Buck doubled to the wall in left to make it 1-0. The Nationals tied it in the fifth. Werth led off with a single and Ian Desmond walked. After Harvey fanned Steve Lombardozzi, Wilson Ramos hit a grounder up the middle. Turner fielded the ball behind second and shovelled it with his glove to Murphy. Murphy barehanded it for the force and turned and threw to first, but his throw was wide and hit Ramos, allowing Werth to score on the error as the ball rolled into the infield. "I misplayed the only ball that really mattered all night," Murphy said. In the opener, Murphy went 4 for 5 with two homers and a pair of RBI singles. Juan Lagares had three hits and Ike Davis added a three-run homer for New York. Mejia (1-0), who had been on the disabled list since March with shoulder inflammation, allowed seven hits. He struck out seven with no walks. Mejia, 23, was 0-4 for the Mets in 2010. He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2011 and spent most of 2012 at Triple-A Buffalo. He was 1-2 with a 6.33 ERA in three September starts for the Mets. Prior to being recalled for Fridays start, the right-hander went 2-0 in a pair of rehab starts at Double-A Binghamton. Jordan Zimmermann (12-6) needed 118 pitches to go 6 2-3 innings. He allowed five earned runs and six hits in picking up his third straight loss. With one out in the first, Murphy hit a 1-1 slider off the second deck facade in right-centre to make it 1-0. In the third, after Lagares doubled with two outs, Murphy put New York up 3-0 when he lined a pitch into the Nationals bullpen for his eighth homer. Murphy has hit safely in 16 of his past 17 games. After Washingtons Bryce Harper singled in the eighth, he was removed for pinch-runner Scott Hairston and was not in the lineup for the second game. Johnson said Harper aggravated his left knee diving for a ball. Harper pinch hit in the second game and grounded out.
