LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) Domestic Cricket Revamping Committee met this week to deliberate over a series of proposed changes to the domestic structure ahead of the new season, sources confirmed.
The session was marked by comprehensive discussions about possible modifications to the formats of Pakistan’s premier tournaments, specifically the prestigious Quaid-e-Azam Trophy and the esteemed Hanif Mohammad Trophy.
Stakeholders delved into various ideas and proposals aimed at enhancing the structure and appeal of these competitions.
Participants exchanged insights on how these changes could elevate the standard of domestic cricket in the country.
A formal announcement detailing the revamped domestic structure is anticipated in the near future.
As per sources, one of the major outcomes of the meeting was the finalization of qualification criteria for two additional teams in the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy.
The committee has proposed that the 12 remaining regional sides compete in the Hanif Mohammad Trophy, with the top two teams qualifying for the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy alongside the six automatic entrants.
Before delving into the structural discussions, the committee undertook an in-depth examination of the performance of the domestic coaching staff.
Insider sources suggest that several domestic coaches, who have not met performance expectations during their tenures, could face non-renewal of their contracts for the upcoming season.
As a result, the board is preparing to open new coaching positions soon, awaiting the final approval from PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.
