Sethi-led PCB Management Committee to hold first meeting today

LAHORE: The newly appointed Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee will hold its first meeting today, here at National High-Performance Centre.

According to the details, the meeting will be chaired by Najam Sethi, who took charge as interim head of the PCB yesterday, and will take important decisions relating to Pakistan cricket.

The committee will discuss the roadmap for the restoration of district, regional and departmental cricket in light of the federal government’s decision to revive departmental sports in the country.

The federal cabinet on Thursday approved repealing of PCB Constitution 2019 and revival of the PCB Constitution 2014 through a circulation summary to pave way for the departmental cricket.

The members of the fresh committee will review the affairs of the board and asses the selection of the Pakistan cricket team.

The performance of various departments of the cricket board will also be discussed during the committee meeting.

It is pertinent to mention here that the newly-constituted management committee will run the affairs of the PCB till the elections are held within the next four months.

The committee led by Sethi includes Shakil Sheikh (ex-PCB BoG), Gul Zada (ex-PCB BoG) Nauman Butt (ex-PCB BoG), ex-Test cricketers Haroon Rashid, Shahid Khan Afridi and Shafqat Rana, Sana Mir (ex-Pakistan women team’s captain), Aized Syed (ex-PCB director NHPC), Tanvir Ahmed (ex-president Larkana Region), Advocate Supreme Court Mustafa Ramday and Chaudhry Arif Saeed (CEO Service Industries).
