London, Jan. 26 : Lord Marland, who is hoping to take charge of English cricket by ousting current chairman Giles Clarke, has described the state of game in his country as being in "shambles".
"Since 2005, cricket has gone backwards. The ECB have not invested properly. They have missed out on the finances of the Indian Premier League and a seat at the top table with India, Australia and South Africa," The Sun quoted Lord Marland, as saying.
