March 11, 2014
The Big Three's takeover of the International Cricket Council (ICC) took place despite strong opposition from some boards '" including Pakistan's. But it has transpired that the row had briefly opened up a window of opportunity for Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
India '" which is now known as the biggest of 'Big Three' '" had offered the PCB quite an attractive quid pro quo. The Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) had offered the PCB three home and three away tours between 2015 and 2023 in return for support at the ICC. The deal would have fetched PCB around $100 million.
