The committee believes while the new ball change has helped, the powerplay alteration has made little difference. So it is recommending powerplays be restricted to the first 10 overs of an innings plus one five-over batting powerplay by the 40th over.
"The changes will help enhance what is still an exceptionally popular form of the game," the ICC general manager of cricket, Dave Richardson said.
That is debatable. Indeed the ODI game is becoming a problem child for the game's rulers, sitting in no-man's land between the five-day test game and the noisy youngster, T20, save that the four-yearly World Cup keeps it relevant. The next cup is in Australia and New Zealand in 2015.
The committee includes former international players and representatives of a range of cricket parties. New Zealand chief executive David White is the board's representative on the committee.
In other developments:
* The ICC committee has decided to stick with the Duckworth Lewis method of calculating rain-affected matches, and rejecting an alternative Indian proposal.
* Opened the door for countries to trial day-night tests should both parties wish.
* Reiterated its belief that the Decision Review System should be implemented universally in test and ODI cricket, subject to financing the technology.
Meanwhile, there's no Boxing Day test for New Zealand on their tour to South Africa at the end of the year, replaced instead with a T20 international in Port Elizabeth. The tour contains two tests, at Cape Town and Port Elizabeth, three T20s and three ODIs, and runs from December 18-January 25.
