Pakistan Cricket Board has demanded establishing a special fund for Pakistan to compensate the financial losses it is suffering due to playing home matches at neutral venues.
“Chairman PCB Shaharyar Khan circulated a document to the ICC delegates outlining the financial damage to Pakistan for having to play its home matches in neutral venue, mainly UAE,†said a spokesman of PCB after the conclusion of ICC’s annual conference in Edinburgh.
“The chairman PCB proposed a Special Fund for Pakistan to compensate for the financial burden of playing its home matches in UAE,†the spokesman added.
The issue will be discussed in the next ICC meeting in October in Cape Town.
Chairman PCB also held meetings with representatives from different Cricket boards, including the BCCI, and discussed issues related to mutual interest and Cricketing relations.
According to PCB “important bilateral meetings†were held by Chairman PCB with his counterparts from India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and England.
“A cordial meeting with held with Anurag Thakur, President BCCI. Future cricketing relations between the two Boards was discussed,†the spokesman said.
“Modalities were discussed with the President of Sri Lankan Board, on the take-over of Presidency of Asian Cricket Council (ACC) by Pakistan from Sri Lanka, in Colombo in August, he added.
Meanwhile, the ICC has approved a change to the DRS playing condition relating to the LBW “Umpire’s Callâ€.
“The size of the zone inside which half the ball needs to hit for a Not Out decision to be reversed to Out will increase, changing to a zone bordered by the outside of off and leg stumps, and the bottom of the bails (formerly the centre of off and leg stumps, and the bottom of the bails),†said a spokesman of International Cricket Council.
This amendment will come into effect from 1 October (or from the start of any series using DRS that commences just prior to this date).
