Pakistan’s conditional support to ‘Big 3’

Najam Sethi further said that the PCB set conditionality of playing bilateral series with each country during 2015 to 2023.
He said that the condition of reviving international in Pakistan has been ensured.
Pakistan was initially one of three countries that opposed the revamp of the International Cricket Council (ICC) approved by members in February.
The move handed the majority of the powers and revenues to the "big three" of the game -- India, Australia and England.
Pakistan and Sri Lanka abstained from voting on the reforms, but since then Sri Lanka have hinted they will sign the draft.
