LAHORE: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan and Executive Committee chairman Najam Sethi have warmly welcomed the ICC for unanimously adopting its revised constitution which will end the Big Three formula.

“Both officials of the PCB worked assiduously for this change that will provide a level playing field for all member countries,” a spokesman for the PCB said here on Friday.

“They also discussed the visit of an ICC international team to Pakistan in the third week of September with Giles Clarke, who heads the ICC’s task force to revive international cricket in Pakistan. This visit is expected to encourage ICC full member teams to visit Pakistan,” he added.

The ICC Board Meeting also congratulated Shaharyar on Pakistan’s success in the Champions Trophy.
