Haroon Lorgat on Wednesday said that it was not fixed for the PCB to realize the recommendation and comments made by ICC's Special Task Force on Pakistan cricket.
In an interview, Lorgat said from Dubai that the task force report was meant to propose to the PCB ways and means to get better their cricket structure.
"It is not required on the PCB to implement all recommendation or explanation of the task force. But we are confident that they will study it and their governing body would see the importance of implementing some, if not all, recommendation and explanation of the task force," Lorgat said.
Lorgat was dialogue after the PCB sent a strong worded response to the task force report in which they discarded most of the recommendation and observations. The PCB also said that the report restricted factual errors and superfluous.
Lorgat said he had not seen the PCB reply as yet but everyone had to realize that the purpose was to help Pakistan cricket.
"As far as the truthful errors are worried, yes, there might be some but at the same time, we had shown a draft copy of the account to the chief operating officer of the Board, Subhan Ahmad, to check it out before we gave it final shape and submit it," the ICC official said.
Asked about the PCB defense of its system of having the Pakistani President concerned in cricket affairs and his power to employ the Board Chairman and governing board members, Lorgat said that the ICC decision-making council had already passed a legitimate amendment that made it mandatory for Boards to prohibit political interference and government involvement in their matters.
"From what we saw, the PCB supports the constitutional alteration and we are hopeful they will implement the recommendation on this issue," he said.
He noted no opposition was raise at any point during the ICC meeting on this issue by Pakistan.
Lorgat also made it clear that when the task force was twisted, Pakistan was taken into self-assurance and the main purpose at that time was to ensure that Pakistan cricket was not isolated and got sufficient contact at the top level with the exception of hosting foreign teams at home.
"With due course of time, the mandate of the task force was delayed and the PCB was taken into self-confidence on this.
"The pleasing feature is that, at the moment, the Pakistan team is one of the busiest in international cricket and it is playing a lot of cricket which was our main anxiety in 2009," Lorgat signed off.
