The ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat has said that it was not mandatory for the PCB to implement the recommendations and observations made by the ICC special task force on Pakistan cricket. In an interview, Lorgat said from Dubai that the task force report was meant to suggest to the PCB ways and means to improve their cricket structure.
According to PTI, “It is not binding on the PCB to implement all recommendations or observations of the task force. But we are hopeful that they will study it and their governing body would see the importance of implementing some if not all recommendations and observations of the task force,” Lorgat said.
Lorgat was speaking after the PCB sent a strong worded response to the task force report in which they rejected most of the recommendations and observations. PCB also said that the report contained factual errors and superfluous.
Lorgat said he had not seen the PCB response as yet but everyone had to realize that the purpose was to help Pakistan cricket. “As far as the factual errors are concerned, yes there might be some but at the same time we had shown a draft copy of the report to the chief operating officer of the Board Subhan Ahmad to check out before we gave it final shape and submitted it,” the ICC official said.
