MELBOURNE-
The International Cricket Council’s (ICC) on Thursday agreed to grant Pakistan the fourth rank after the ‘Big Three’ – India, England and Australia – in terms of the percentage of revenue to be received from the ICC in the next eight years from broadcasting and other rights on ICC fixtures.
According to a press release by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), in an annual meeting in Melbourne, Pakistan was able to gain major concessions by ICC.
The ICC confirmed that Pakistan would be getting the position of the global body’s President for two years with effect from June 2015.
PCB added that after N. Srinivasan’s election as the first ICC Chairman in a landslide, India has officially turned the MOUs signed earlier this year with regard to six series between the two nations. Four of these are to be hosted by the PCB in the UAE or Pakistan with mutual consent.
“The PCB had organized itself and planned to get maximum advantage for Pakistan cricket from an extremely precarious position. We have accomplished all our objectives. And I am positive that in the times to come Pakistan Cricket shall greatly benefit from what PCB has been able to obtain for it today”, said PCB Chairman Najam Sethi speaking from Melbourne.
No matter what Sethi cannot mend his ways.
