Melbourne, Australia: The International Cricket Council says it has no immediate plans to restrict bat sizes after a backlash at suggestions the sport's governing body it would impose limitations.
ICC chief David Richardson last week forecast the ICC will look at placing limitations "on the depth of a bat in particular" saying the larger size of modern bats favor batsmen.
His statement triggered a backlash from the likes of West Indies star Chris Gayle and England captain Eoin Morgan, who labeled the move "ridiculous."
On Tuesday, Richardson said it is too early to know whether any restrictions will be imposed. "We need to consult with the manufacturers, whether any attempts to limit the size and the depth of the bats will be effective."
