ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan has summoned Chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Ehsan Mani over the poor performance of the cricketing board.
According to sources, the Premier summoned Chairman PCB on a telephonic call and summoned him for an urgent meeting which is likely to place soon.
It is to be noted that earlier in the day, 53rd meeting of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Board of Governors (BoG) was postponed after some members refused to accept the appointment of Managing Director (MD) Wasim Khan.
The meeting agenda was rejected by five out of seven members. “The meeting was adjourned for a later date due to an incomplete quorum,” PCB said in a statement.
In a resolution written and signed by five of the seven BoG members, they demanded that MD Wasim Khan’s appointment and the unconstitutional post of MD PCB be declared null and void.
Later, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ehsan Mani issued a statement on the affair and expressed disappointment over ‘today’s events’.
He said: “I am hugely disappointed by today’s events as I was looking forward to an interactive, productive and constructive discussion, which was aimed at taking Pakistan cricket forward.”
“We reaffirm our commitment to doing what is right for Pakistan cricket and once again becoming a strong force in the world game, and must not get derailed by personal agendas,” PCB chairman added.
