Ashraf, who resumed his duties at the PCB headquarters at Gaddafi stadium since Thursday, said he had no differences with the ruling government and there was no politics involved in his reinstatement.
"I fought a legal battle since my removal was illegal and my stance has been vindicated there is no politics involved in this," he told reporters in Lahore.
Ashraf was restored to his post by a two-member bench of the Islamabad High Court on Wednesday.
"I haven't met the PM, but I would like to brief him on the game," said Ashraf.
"I cannot say anything about the future as no one can predict that, but for now the court has restored me as the elected chairman for four years in the light of the constitution," he added.
To a query regarding team captain Misbah-ul-Haq's appointment till the 2015 World Cup, Ashraf subtly termed it a premature decision.
"Misbah is currently very fit, but he will undergo a fitness test before the tournament like every other player. (Mohammad) Hafeez is also going good as the Twenty20 captain, but the player will also need to undergo a fitness test," he said.
Ashraf also said the government would be consulted before taking a final decision on sending the team for the Asia Cup in Bangladesh.
