A One-Day International championship table appears to be set to emerge from the International Cricket Council meeting in London next week.

A committee of the ICC has been working on the table and a report is expected to be put before the meeting that could see the table in place before this year's ICC Champions Trophy tournament in Sri Lanka.

Because of the rapidly-changing nature of teams involved in one-day matches the system is likely to be based on the results of the last two years, and not reaching as far back as the Test table does.

Another important issue to be discussed is how the future tours programme can cater for cancelled tours, especially those where reasons for withdrawal are not as clear cut as those which have faced New Zealand in Pakistan recently, and Australia in Zimbabwe before that.

It is understood the ICC will be looking to try and set in place rules which do not allow countries to pull out of tours that they shouldn't.

Some guidelines for use of independent and neutral venues, such as that recently completed in Tangiers in Morocco, will also be discussed.

Code of conduct issues relating from the Condon Report on Corruption are expected to be implemented by the meeting.

A video to educate players on corruption is being prepared while issues relating to regional security managers, the minimum requirements for access to players' areas and contractual clauses in player contracts will also be discussed.

Security issues which have long been sought by the players are also expected to be implemented with minimum standards applying to all countries. As part of this there will also be discussion of the use of video screens at grounds and their ability to upset spectators and put players at risk from spectator over-reaction.

A discussion paper on the procedures relating to the reporting of players with unfair bowling actions is also likely to produce some debate as the result of dissatisfaction having been expressed about the process as it stands at the moment.

The after-effects of what are described as quite revolutionary technology changes being implemented for the ICC Champions Trophy tournament will be discussed along with what might happen after the tournament where the changes are successful or otherwise.

Bonus points as they apply in One-Day International series will also be on the agenda.
