PCB can collapse if India wants as ICC is getting 90% of its funds from there: Ramiz Raja

Mr. Ramiz, in a candid briefing to the Senators, also said he would unveil his plans for Pakistan cricket and the board in a week or 10 days' time
Pakistan Cricket Board chief Ramiz Raja says the PCB can "collapse" if India wants as 90% of the ICC's funding comes from that country, which effectively means that the sport here is being run by "India's business houses".
Appearing before the Senate Standing Committee on Inter-Provincial affairs on October 7 in Islamabad, Mr. Ramiz said it was time for the PCB to reduce its dependence on funding from the ICC and start tapping the local market.
"The ICC is a politicised body divided between the Asian and Western blocs and 90% of its revenues are generated from India. It is frightening," the PCB Chief said, adding that 50% of PCB's budget comes from ICC funding.
