Former Pakistan captain Rameez Raja, who had openly supported the ICC's structural revamp process initiated by cricket boards from India, England and Australia feels that PCB might just have missed out on extracting its own share of pie which would benefitted country's cricket.
"I don't know but perhaps Pakistan might have missed out on a lot of achievements and concessions they could have got out of this issue. These changes are not surprising to me as I had earlier said that these were coming. Our cricket board should have looked after its own interests," Rameez said.
He said the face of cricket had changed and with India, Australia and England providing the main sponsorship and finances for the ICC events and bilateral series, it was expected they would push for more power.
Another former captain Rashid Latif said it was too early to say whether Pakistan had done the right thing by abstaining from voting at the ICC executive board meeting on Saturday in Singapore.
"Only time will tell whether we took the right decision by abstaining from voting but overall I think our stance was a principled one and I think these changes when implemented will have negative effects on world cricket," Latif said.
