All forms of recognised sports in the world disseminate discipline, democracy, decency and development and hold the supremacy of becoming law-abiding over all other forms of dominance. I dont think cricket is not the only form of sport practising or advocating these ideals.
sports in general has to work for raising sporting spirit among the ppl accross all the countries, castes, lang, religon, etc. so its natural. icc or ckt is not special at it. even other sports like tennis, football, athletics etc. r doing the same things.
