PCB forms new committees in 60th BoG meeting

November 10, 2020 08:18 PM


The Board of Governors of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) held their 60th meeting at the National High Performance Centre in Lahore on Tuesday.

The four newly-appointed independent BoG members were provided a 360-degree update on the PCB’s working and affairs, including the Pakistan men’s and women’s cricket teams, domestic structure and events, commercial programme, revenues and finances, five-year strategy, constitution and governance as well as the risks and challenges the sport faced due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The BoG was also briefed on the HBL Pakistan Super League with historical perspective and background, including all contentious, ongoing and outstanding matters relating to the PCB’s marquee event.

In relation to the Pakistan men’s cricket team, the BoG was updated on the 55-member squad, including 35 players and 20 players support personnel, for the New Zealand tour, which will be announced by head coach and chief selector Misbah-ul-Haq on Wednesday afternoon in Lahore.

The senior side will play three T20Is and two Tests from 18 December to 7 January, while the Shaheens will concurrently play two four-day and four 20-over matches. The squad will depart for Lincoln on 23 November.

Before the start of the meeting, the PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani once again thanked the outgoing BoG members and welcomed the new members.

“I want to once again thank all the outgoing members for their contribution to Pakistan cricket. They have been a great support to the PCB during the transitional phase and ensured the business was not disrupted despite a number of obstacles we have faced in the journey to date. I welcome the new independent members to the BoG – Mr Aasim Wajid Jawad, Ms Alia Zafar, Mr Arif Saeed and Mr Javed Kureishi. They are all highly respected, regarded and successful in their respective fields. I appreciate their willingness to invest their time in cricket by sharing their insight and knowledge to help the PCB. I have no doubt that the PCB will benefit hugely from their presence on the BoG,” Mr Mani said.

The BoG, as per Articles 40, 41, 42 and 43 of the PCB Constitution 2019, approved the appointment of Audit Committee, Nomination Committee, Human Resource and Remuneration Committee, and Risk Management Committee, respectively.
