The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Thursday that it will support the revised ICC resolutions regarding the future governance structure. PHOTO: FILE
This therefore ends PCB’s isolation within the international community and opens doors to international cricket. Bilateral cricket tours from 2015-23 will be conducted as well with all members of the ICC, including arch rivals India.
“We had completed the discussion, consultation and negotiation phase with regard to the revised resolutions. It was important for us to get assurances on bilateral cricket with all Boards, especially India, which we have now received,” PCB Chairman Najam Sethi announced.
“The detailed Future Tour Programs are now being finalised with all, especially India. The fact that the resolutions have been diluted considerably from when these were first presented, and are now unobjectionable encouraged us to support these,” he added.
Sethi is expected to announce further details of the ICC meetings at a press conference at Gaddafi Stadium on Friday.
Supporting Big3 equivalent to destruction of the sport
Former PCB chairman Zaka Ashraf said on Thursday that India has not accepted the Future Tour Programme for the last seven years, Express News reported.
He added that supporting the Big Three is equivalent of wanting the destruction of cricket as a sport.
The former chairperson said that all countries had already shown their preference for bilateral series.

Good going sethi! after all u made it through! the only thing we wanted was PCB keeling down to Big3!
No onder Zakar Ashraf was kicked out because he stood against PML N's masters. Plz publish ET
Just like Kerry-Lugar bill, first make a big deal and trash it then embrace it and benefit fully. We do the right thing after we have tried everything else.
PCB did not support Big Three because of their Ghairat. Did not realize up until now that Ghairat is conditional :)
cant believe this. how stupid
That is why Njam Sethi was forced in by NS despite of the court decision. Nawaz Sharif agenda to lay under India is damaging cricket as well.
Damage control was the need of the hour.
One decision and Repent for ever...!!!
we dont care what is going with lazy cricket it is all about money making for few. I prefer to play and watch dome fast sports
