KARACHI: Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board Ehsan Mani and CEO Wasim Khan will meet Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday to brief him on all recent cricketing matters and also will get approval from him on the PCB new broadcast deal with Pakistan Television.

Reliable sources told Dawn News that PCB’s top officials have prepared a groundbreaking broadcast deal for Pakistan’s international matches in Pakistan and also for relaying domestic cricket and will announce the details this week after the PM approval.

Sources further said that both that Mani and Wasim will brief the PM on Pakistan’s recent tour to England and about the future home assignments as well as the arrangement being made for the SOPs to counter the Covid-19 threat.

As per the sources, PCB Misbah-ul-Haq will continue as chief selector and his dual role and there is no truth in the rumours taking rounds about the Board planning to replace the former skipper.

Mani and Waseem. We don't know these people. Why not our legends: Miandad, Zaheer, Wasim Akram, Ejaz, Shahid Afridi, Saeed Anwar, ... A ridiculous strategy to put people in-charge who have no contribution to the game for the beloved country!

I am writing this comment with a lot of sadness because I am seeing PCB do the same mistakes over and over again. Pakistan's performance in England was pathetic and added to that the head coach/chief selector makes comments on a post conference stating Pakistan T-20 performance was headed down before he started. We all know that is NOT TRUE. Additionally, what is PCB doing to eliminate Nepotism. I am a very disappointed and unfortunately don't see a lot of hope. Fighting spirit does not exist.

As long as Misbah is in charge, Pakistan cricket will go no where but down. Bring an aggressive coach and selector in place of timid Misbah. Everyone knows the issues with Misbah, but PCB loves Misbah for some reason.
