While the BCCI scales new heights everyday, the PCB finds itself embroiled in a new controversy. Pakistan 's recent home series defeat against Bangladesh testifies the fact that the PCB has completely lost the plot and are clueless about how to scale up. Friendships, lobbying and a lack of able leadership, these are few of the many glaring issues that have plagued the PCB.
