KARACHI (TheSportsNext) July 26, 2012: Former
chief of the International Cricket Council (ICC) from Pakistan, Ehsan Mani, on
Thursday, urged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to refrain from getting
overshadowed by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
The Indian cricket board has recently invited Pakistan
cricket team for a limited overs series in their country this December and
Ehsan Mani, who is renowned for his stance on tough issues, is of the view that
the PCB should have hosted this series because it was not India's turn.
Moreover, the PCB also refrained from highlighting the
revenue-sharing matter, saying revival of cricket with India topped its
priority list.
Ehsan Mani said, "It is concerning to see that the BCCI
solely took the decision. Their working committee discussed it and their board
decided it on their own without consulting the PCB. They blindly followed what
the BCCI conveyed to them. The officials showed a lack of competence by saying
yes without putting forward the board’s point of view”.
He further stated, "However, as far as the resumption
is concerned, it will be good for world cricket, fans and help in bridging gaps
between the two countries”.
