Former International Cricket Council (ICC) president Ehsan Mani said there is a clear trust deficit between the ICC and the PCB.
Mani, expressing disappointment over the alleged involvement of Pakistani players in spot fixing, said the PCB had failed to read and handle the situation correctly."If the PCB themselves had taken action against the players when these allegations first came up I don't think the ICC would have come into the picture like this. Now the whole issue is out of PCB's hands and the players are suffering," Mani said.
Mani also felt that the PCB should have taken the ICC into confidence and keep briefing them on allegations against the Pakistani players from the start.
"Now until the ICC completes its investigations and Scotland Yard also ends its inquiry the PCB has no concrete role to play in this entire issue," he said.
The former ICC chief also expressed surprise at the way the PCB management took the tour of England
