Karachi: Pakistan cricket administrators yesterday said they would support a move to re-organise the game's governing body on the condition of being granted the chance to play bilateral series with other teams. Pakistan is the only country which has not approved the revamp of the International Cricket Council (ICC) under reforms handing the majority of the powers and revenues to the "big three" of the game - India, Australia and England.

Plans passed
The plans were passed during an ICC meeting in February in Singapore where Pakistan and Sri Lanka abstained from voting. But last month Sri Lanka agreed to the reforms. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced its conditional support of the plans after a two-day ICC board meeting ended in Dubai yesterday.
