Summary PCB chief has vowed to protect Pakistans rights at ICCs Hong Kong meeting on Sunday.
The two-day International Cricket Council (ICC) Executive Board meeting, preceded by a chief executive meeting, will consider two significant changes to the ICC constitution.If approved, these could hurt Pakistans interests because the first amendment would allow the ICC to suspend a member country in the event of government interference in the running of a national cricket board.In Pakistan, the countrys president is the cricket boards patron. Sri Lanka and Bangladesh could also be hit by any changes.The second amendment proposes changes to the process for nomination of the ICC president and vice-president.Currently, the ICC president is elected from full-member countries on a rotation basis -- Pakistan and Bangladesh have their turn after 2014.Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Ijaz Butt told reporters: Its Pakistans turn to nominate the president or the vice-president so we will not allow anyone to snatch that right.
