Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar-led caretaker government on Monday redirected the reins of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) away from the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination.
This pivotal decision marks a fundamental shift in governance, with the PCB now falling directly under the auspices of the Cabinet Division, ultimately placing it under the purview of the Prime Minister's Office.
This move, announced amidst whispers of restructuring and reform within the cricketing body, effectively strips away the Ministry's oversight, granting the PCB a newfound autonomy directly under the highest echelons of the government.
With this transition, the PCB bids adieu to its former accountability to the Ministry, signifying a bold step towards streamlining governance within the cricketing fraternity.
Furthermore, the ripple effects of this decision extend beyond mere administrative reshuffling. Notably, the Secretary of the Inter-Provincial Coordination Ministry will no longer hold a seat on the PCB's Board of Governors, signaling a clear departure from the previous governance structure.
In a parallel development, the appointment of Mohsin Naqvi, the Caretaker Chief Minister of Punjab, as the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board underscores the winds of change blowing through the cricketing corridors.
Naqvi's elevation to the coveted position comes on the heels of the resignation of Zaka Ashraf, the erstwhile Chairman of the Management Committee of the PCB.
