With pressure coming from different countries Big-3 stance is now softening and we will continue our efforts to make it appropriate for all the member countries by having equal representation in different committees, he said.
He said Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif is the patron in chief of the PCB will seek his advice and recommendations on the issue of the Big-3.
