Karachi, July 3 2009:  Pakistan Cricket Board has accused ‘big nations’ India and Australia of trying to ‘marginalise’ the strife-torn country in the draft Future Tours Programmes from 2012 to 2020.

The PCB had raised strong objection to the FTP drafted by the BCCI since it does not include any bilateral series between the arch-rivals and refused to sign the same unless the Indian board revises the draft.

The draft was placed before the ICC for ratification by the executive board last month but we resisted because we were being marginalised in the new FTP, a PCB official said in condition of anonymity.

The official also accused India of being the apparent driving force behind the new draft FTP, in which they had not slotted any series against Pakistan or Bangladesh.
