With the PCB looking to raise funds in the absence of international cricket in the country and the deadlock with the BCCI in terms of bilateral series, chairman Shaharyar Khan has suggested that the Pakistan board should receive a higher percentage of the income from matches against India at ICC events. According to a paper circulated among the PCBs directors - accessed by ESPNcricinfo - Khan presented the suggestion while making a strong case for a support system for the board at the recent ICC annual conference in Edinburgh.He also made Pakistan-specific points during the meeting, including a request that the ICC compensate Pakistan for having to arrange home fixtures outside the country.Pakistan continues to play India in ICC events. The interest and finances that these generate are unparalleled. Tickets for the World Cup matches in Adelaide and Calcutta sold out quicker than other major sporting events - Wimbledon, the Olympics being two examples, the paper stated. The financial income in ICC championships benefits enormously from India - Pakistan clashes. Currently, all members benefit from the windfall from these matches. [The] Chairman proposed that Pakistan should be given a higher percentage of this income.Barring Zimbabwes limited-overs tour in May 2015, Pakistan has not hosted an international game since the attack on Sri Lankan team bus in Lahore in 2009. The UAE has subsequently become their new base. However, the paper says, the extra cost that the PCB has borne to host its cricket in the UAE has placed a huge financial burden on Pakistan cricket and is directly hampering the development of the game in the country.During the isolation, the development phase was put on hold in Pakistan and regional academies were gradually closed due to lack of funds. The project has been revived partially under Mudassar Nazar, who was recently appointed director of Pakistans national cricket academy.The lack of bilateral series, however, has been a major concern for the PCB at every level, including Under-19s, A team tours and the womens team. Pakistani teams can tour foreign countries but the cost of hosting matches in the UAE makes it difficult for the PCB to organise reciprocal home series. The report also reflected on how the isolation has upset Pakistans capacities in other areas, as curators and umpires are unwilling to come to the country.Pakistan is the only country that plays its home matches in a third country, the paper said. This has placed a huge financial burden on Pakistan cricket. This includes having to play host in one of the most expensive destinations in the world. Dubai, for example, was recently ranked as the most expensive holiday destination. To host two teams - Pakistan and the opposition, scorers, umpires, other officials - in the UAE is prohibitively expensive. In addition, the hiring of grounds is a further drain. Little is recouped through gate receipts. Therefore, every time we play at home it is a further drain on resources.Pakistan is also suffering cricket-wise. Many of the national teams have never played a match at home against international teams. These cricketers have been denied the opportunity to benefit from home crowds. At the same time the cricketing public is starved of cricket at home - when Zimbabwe toured all five matches [two T20Is, three ODIs] were sold out in minutes.The political situation between India and Pakistan has also had an impact. The BCCI had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to play six series with Pakistan between 2015 and 2023, with the first to be hosted by the PCB in the UAE in December. As has often happened in the past, the strained political relationship put the series in doubt. The last full series between the countries, including Tests and ODIs, was in 2007 when Pakistan toured India. Since then Pakistan have played only one limited-overs series in India, in December 2012, and the teams have mostly met in multi-team competitions and ICC events. Indias refusal to play has cost the PCB over $80 million in terms of broadcasting and other commercial deals.This needs to be further put in perspective when we remember that India has refused to play Pakistan since 2006, the paper stated. Therefore, the principal source of income has been cut off for a decade. Pakistan, in the meantime, has twice been to India since 2006 without reciprocation and the 2014 MoU has not been fulfilled as the Indian government has yet to lift the embargo on cricketing relations.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- It might be Honey Badger time for the Arizona Cardinals.With the Cards reeling, Tyrann Mathieu feels he cant sit back and continue to play deep safety while he regains movement and confidence in his surgically repaired right knee.I mean, were 1-3, man, Mathieu said. Its not really time for me to sit back and play it slow. I feel good. I feel great. I look forward to wherever coach puts me at, but if I got anything to say about it, Ill be back in my normal spot.Mathieus normal spot is in the box at slot cornerback, despite his position being listed as safety. Last season, before he tore his right ACL, he played 519 of his 833 defensive snaps in the slot, with another 170 lined up as an outside linebacker.This season, he has spent just 25 of his 220 snaps in the slot. He has spent 159 snaps at free safety.The past two games, Mathieu has spent more plays in the box but has dropped back into coverage instead of getting miixed up in the play at the line of scrimmage.dddddddddddd Hes antsy for that to change.Im ready to cut it loose, Mathieu said. My expectations are extremely high for myself. Ill never feel sorry for myself, so I think its just time for me to get back to what Im doing. I feel comfortable out there. Its time for me to start making plays.Mathieus campaign to play more in the slot might get a bolster from a groin injury to fellow safety Tyvon Branch, who had picked up Mathieus snaps in the slot. The severity of Branchs injury has yet to be announced by the Cardinals, but he did not practice Monday. Branch has played 129 of his 166 snaps in the slot, or 77.7 percent.Arizona coach Bruce Arians has said hell move Mathieu back to his old position when the Honey Badger tells him hes ready.I just did, Mathieu said.
