London, April 17:: Federation of International Cricketers' Association (FICA) has warned that the ICC may be faced with the biggest players' revolt in the history of the game if it continues to be "paralysed" by the BCCI and remains "incompetent" in its handling of issues facing the sport.

FICA's international legal adviser Ian Smith said the resentment among the players against the ICC's handling of affairs is so strong that they are ready to break ranks and run the show themselves.

In fact, the FICA's world conference in Texas next month, may actually see a no-confidence vote against the ICC's current set-up.

"The two days [of the conference] will be dominated by Indian cricket, what to do about the IPL, Twenty20 and Stanford," Smith was quoted as saying by The Guardian.

"People are increasingly seriously asking why aren't we walking away. The competence of the administrators is being called into question at a policy level," he added.

Smith said the players have realised their worth after being showered with millions of dollars by the Indian Premier League and its rival Indian Cricket League and feel they are better prepared to handle the game's functioning.
