The Managing Committee of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) will meet in Lahore on Monday to take a final decision on ICC governance issue that put India, England and Australia in control of the world game.
A highly placed source in the PCB told PTI that in Bangladesh, Sri Lanka Cricket and Cricket South Africa had reaffirmed that they would be ratifying their decision to support the recent widespread changes of governance in the ICC, which effectively hands over controlling power to India, Australia and England.
The cricket boards of Pakistan, Sri Lanka and South Africa had abstained from voting in the last executive board meeting of the ICC in Singapore where the seven other full member Test playing nations voted in favour of the sweeping changes.
"The ICC chief executives committee meeting is due to be held in Dhaka on April 5 and 6 while the executive board will meet on the April 9 and 10 in Dubai where the changes which are already approved will be given final and legal cover," the source said.
"Sri Lanka and South Africa have conveyed they intend to now vote in favour of the changes at the next board meeting so the PCB has also decided to now finalise its strategy after discussions at the MC meeting," the source stated.
