Raja said that the PCB should have dealt with the ICC reform proposals wisely and taken a pragmatic approach to the stance adopted by the ‘Big Three’, India, Australia and England.

He further said that despite the PCB not getting the deal in their favour, all was not yet lost and a calculated and methodical approach could somewhat help redeem the situation.

Opposition of wrong thing is right no matter what is the outcome of opposition,,This proposal dont seem fair and i am not talking about funds distribution but others things in there which are against the concept of fairness. Ramiz jaise log ke lein ka humari chahey maar loo bus paise de doo humhein and that will be a good deal

You have Sri Lanka, we're in the same boat
