However, the Pakistan Cricket Board also took an aggressive stand against the BCCI and criticized it. The PCB had put out a long letter and threatened to boycott the ODI World Cup to be held in India. But now there has been a lot of change in the Pakistan Cricket Board. The then PCB chairman Rameez Raja took an aggressive stand. But now he has been removed from the post of president. Najam Sethi has been elected as the chairman of PCB.
