India should make ICC more democratic: PCB chief

Newly appointed Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Shahryar Khan wants cricketing "powerhouse" India to encourage "democracy" in the functioning of the ICC after being forced to let BCCI have the control of the governing body along with England and Australia.


PCB was the last of the ICC members to give it consent to the ICC revamp after it was decided that the cricket-starved nation will be able to play against the full members in a bilateral series including one against arch-rivals India.

Shahryar Khan"Well, we have already agreed on playing each other (India and Pakistan) regularly from next year. We were the last ones to accept the ICC revamp formula and that is how it is. India deserves to have a special status in the current scenario and I hope they look after the interest of Pakistan cricket," Shahryar told PTI over the phone in an interview.

What does Pakistan  knows about democracy? . They've been a dictatorship for almost all of their existence 

There was a reason why things got to where they are. Someone did not like something and it created problems. They first must find out why what happened did. I am glad about the move they have made. Hope fully this can lead to democratic elections and a true cricket board.

@Kwami..Just what i wanted to tell.They really don't have an idea of democracy and for the name sake,they seem to have put it up before them.
To his statements..I do not want India playing Pak anytime now.it will only lower India's standards or playing against their so called "arch rivals".They should be a stiff competitors rather than meekly surrendering all the time.
