Good point about Pakistan helping ECB in the time of its need. I don't mean to belittle that in any way.They were under financial pressure in covid times when Pakistan sent them their cricket team from low danger area to hight risk country. Where was your big spending that time. It was Pakistan saved ECB a... that time. It was Pakistan who helped them in their difficult time..
I only wanted to point to the monetary contributions made by member countries to ICC. US and China have sway over international bodies because they contribute more money than other members. In case of ICC, it is the big three who contribute more money.
Secondly, most smaller cricket boards make money when they play against the big 3. This is also instrumental in the big 3 gaining more votes in the council. In my view, this does not seem like it is about to change in the near future.
