Earlier this week, Mr Shah Khawar, Advocate of the Supreme Court of Pakistan and the Election Commissioner of the the cricketing body, assumed the powers of Chairman of the cricketing body.

According to the notification dated 23 January 2024 from the Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC) Ministry and by virtue of Article 7(2) of the PCB Constitution the Election Commissioner is vested with the powers of Chairman PCB.

“I would like to thank the Patron of the PCB, Mr Anwaar-ul-Haq Kakar, for reposing trust in me,” said Shah Khawar.

“My primary responsibility will be to hold the election of Chairman PCB in a free and transparent manner at the earliest,” he added.

Shah Khawar’s appointment as the interim chairman came after PCB Management Committee chairman Zaka Ashraf stepped down from his post on January 19.

In a statement, Ashraf said he was working for the betterment of Pakistan cricket.

However, expressing disappointment over the working conditions, he said it was unable to work amid such circumstances. “It’s not Prime Minister’s prerogative to nominate a new chairman,’ he added.

Ashraf-led PCB Management Committee was formed in July 2023 for a four-month period, by caretaker Prime Minister (PM) Anwaarul Haq Kakar, using his prerogative as patron of the PCB.

Later, the caretaker federal cabinet granted a three-month extension to the PCB Management Committee Chairman Zaka Ashraf.
