The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to have an elected chairman on February 6, as the election commissioner, Shah Khawar, has called for a special meeting of the Board of Governors at the National Cricket Academy. The PCB has been without a chairman for the past 13 months, managed by two interim management committees during this period.
The upcoming elections occur just two days before the general elections in the country. The Prime Minister, serving as the PCB’s patron-in-chief, holds the authority to nominate two members in the ten-member Board of Governors, constituting the electoral college responsible for electing the chairman.
Despite the general elections, the new PCB chief will not be the nominee of the incoming prime minister. Caretaker Prime Minister Anwar-ul-Haq Kakar has nominated Mohsin Naqvi to replace Zaka Ashraf, who recently resigned as the chief of the interim management committee. Zaka, alongside Mustafa Ramday, had been nominated to the Board of Governors by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif.
The election commissioner has issued a notice for the meeting in accordance with the provisions of the PCB’s constitution. All Board of Governors members are mandated to attend the meeting in person, as stated in a PCB statement on Monday.
