ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Cricket Board sends a strong message to international cricket teams players across the World, media report has revealed.
PCB has been spending substantially on players and boards over the years to lure the international players and teams, however this practice will be off from now on.
Whenever international or PSL games have been played in the country since 2015, the PCB has spent millions of dollars to make some headway towards changing perceptions of visiting teams.
Now, though, the PCB chairman Ehsan Mani has said this spending can only attain "short-term goals", and that his board wants to build a firmer foundation of trust and commitment for longer-term benefits, Cricinfo.com has reported.
There was no major international cricket in Pakistan for six years following the 2009 attack on Sri Lanka's team bus in Lahore.
Pakistan were forced to play their home games at neutral venues - mostly in the UAE - but at the same time the PCB kept trying to convince teams to tour Pakistan, and financial rewards played a key part link in its efforts finally bearing fruit.
