Ashraf, who returns from Dubai after attending the ICC meetings, is himself facing a battle for survival after the Islamabad High Court started hearing an appeal filed by the government against his (Ashraf's) reinstatement as Chairman by a IHC divisional bench earlier this month.
Indications are that the government after today's hearing is thinking about issuing a notification appointing an ad-hoc committee to run cricket affairs with a new Chairman.
A well-informed source in the board told PTI that media reports about Zaka Ashraf getting into heated arguments with the Chairmen of the Indian and Australian cricket boards during the meeting were not true.
"There was no major argument between anyone since the big three submitted a revised version of the original draft proposal that was circulated to members at the January 9 meeting of the ICC," he said.
He said that in meantime the ICC legal experts were also studying the revised draft paper to see whether amendments in the ICC constitution were required to get them approved.
"Basically as far as Pakistan is concerned while they know that if they support the revised proposal it would mean enhanced financial benefits for them but they are concerned that if the governance of world cricket goes into the hands of India it could create problems for Pakistan cricket because of the long history of strained political relations between the two countries," the source said.
