LAHORE: The election for the next chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is expected to be held on September 4, sources informed Geo News.
According to sources, the Election Commissioner for PCB Justice (retd) Syed Afzal Haider, who has taken charge as interim chairman of the board, has summoned a session to elect the new chief. Former International Cricket Council chairman Ehsan Mani is expected to be elected as the next chairman of the PCB at the governing board’s meeting, sources added.
Last week, Prime Minister Imran Khan nominated Mani and Asad Ali Khan as members of PCB’s governing board.According to a notification, both the members have been nominated for three years.
On August 20, Najam Sethi resigned from his post as chairman, almost four years after he took over the reins of the cricket board and oversaw the return of international cricket to Pakistan.
Sethi was nominated to the Board of Governors of the PCB (as per the Pakistan Cricket Board Constitution of 2014 approved by the ICC and Supreme Court of Pakistan) by ousted premier Nawaz Sharif from 2014-2017 and then again from 2017- 2020 by former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi.
