Karachi: Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Zaka Ashraf today handed over a copy of the new PCB constitution to the ICC which has appreciated the efforts made to make the document more democratic. The PCB chairman handed over the copy to ICC president Alan Isaac, in Dubai during the ICC Board meeting.

Isaac also complimented the PCB and the government of Pakistan for their efforts in producing a constitution which makes the process of electing its chairman more democratic and reduces the risk of inappropriate government interference in line with the ICC's constitutional provisions....
