(Reuters) - The International Cricket Council (ICC) plans to work in the future on the men's and women's calendars to avoid fixture clashes that can undermine events like the women's World Cup, chief executive Geoff Allardice said on Monday.

The tournament, which begins in New Zealand on March 4, clashes with three major men's series -- Pakistan v Australia, India v Sri Lanka and England v West Indies.
