International Cricket Council (ICC) has banned political appointments in cricket boards to improve the governance within the game. ICC has given its member boards two years to become democratised.
This is blessing in disguise for Pakistan where PCB chairman is appointed by Patron in chief of PCB who is President of Pakistan. World Cup winning captain Imran Khan always demanded the same but his instruction was never taken serious.
But it would have been better if ICC would have given only one month or so as Pakistan nation would have seen the exit of PCB Chairman Ijaz Butt.
Now it is sure that PCB will follow the instructions of ICC as rejecting the ICC demand will suspend PCB membership.
