The boards’ meeting at ICC Headquarters in Dubai ended today. All the members including Pakistan voted against the Big-3 system in the session, save India.
The session also approved the document for new system ensuring equivalent distribution of funds among the member countries. Decision about the implementation of the new system will be finalised in the April meeting.
