Pakistan Cricket Board's new chief Rameez Raja's latest statement on BCCI has become a topic of discussion. A video of Rameez Raja saying that cricket around the world is being run by the Board of Control for Cricket in India. Rameez Raja says that the ICC gets 90 percent of its revenue from the BCCI. 

Rameez Raja said this in a meeting with PCB officials. Not only that, the Pakistan Cricket Board gets 50 percent of its total earnings from the ICC. This means that the Pakistan Cricket Board is also running with the help of the BCCI. 

“50% of PCB is run on ICC funding. 90% of ICC is run on BCCI funding. India is running PCB. Modi can shut down PCB the day he wants.”

Rameez Raja, however, has also made serious allegations against the ICC. "The ICC is a politically colored institution divided into Asian and Western factions and 90 percent of its revenue comes from India," the PCB chief said.

Pakistan cricket in difficult situation

Rameez Raja said, "In a way, India's business houses are running Pakistan cricket. If tomorrow the Indian Prime Minister decides that he won't allow Pakistan to collect any revenue, it may shatter our cricket board.''

The situation in Pakistan cricket has been very bad since Rameez Raja became PCB chief. England and Sri Lanka have cancelled their tour of Pakistan after New Zealand.
