Is Ehsan Mani the right choice as the new PCB Chairman?

[ExplicitAI]

That's not really the PCB Chairman's job though.

Agreed that he should never be a selector.

He is a brilliant brain just like his father i hope he can be adjusted in PCB

He should definitely be involved in the PCB but never as a selector, we'll never see young talents playing for Pakistan ever again if he's there. Pakistan cricket is all about young talent who burst on the scene.

The two tweets do not go hand in hand. They are clearly contradictory.

He went from "I have appointed him" to "I have nominated him on the Board of Governors".

It appears that he goofed up and someone had to correct him that he cannot appoint the PCB Chairman directly, which is why he had to take a u-turn and tweet that he will nominate Ehsan Mani and it will be up to the Board to appoint him.

Imran should have done his homework before firing out tweets. Please note that this is not the last time that our savior is going to goof up.

Much like Trump, he does not have much control over what comes out of his mouth hence the frequent u-turns, and much like Trump, he is going to embarrass himself very frequently. It will make for good entertainment though, and the justifications from his hardcore supporters will be funnier.

Its just a formality and, we all know that Mr.Mani is going to be appointed as the Chairman.

Probably he got excited and tweeted, and later someone had to say you can't appoint directly as it's a "parch*" and, especially when his whole campaign was to remove corrpution. Later, he had to repair that tweet. He should have deleted the earlier one.

But, I think he can get away with this stating, it was done by his social media team.

Strange to change a chairman who has been doing well for Pakistan cricket over the last few years.

[giri26]

Didn't Sethi hand in his resignation himself though?

Yes he did but again he also said something like Imran Khan needs a free hand to make decisions or something like that. Also even before his resignation, there were talks that Mani might take over as PCB chairman.

 

[MMHS]

I was about to post that how can he appoint someone like this but it’s good he made correction.

I’ll be surprised if PAK PM had so much time to update nation his every actions via tweets. Then he had the time to review it and send a correction.

 

[msb314]

Didn't Sethi hand in his resignation himself though?

He "resigned" but for all intents and purposes - he was forced out.

 

[Bhoot_Pret]

Inviting minnow teams with their B cateogry players that too luring them with heavy pay checks and presidential level security is no achievement. It even pressurised PCB financially and got nothing out of it. No big team is interested to tour Pakistan. It all went in vain. He organised PSL so that he himself could get money out of it. Nazam Sethi wasted the money of PCB and earned for himself. He made relations poorer with BCB by refusing to invite them in UAE and wanted them to tour Pakistan. Why Nazam why?? Do Bangladeshi players haven't got any value?? Is their lives so cheap..?? And Nazam's obsession with INDIA and its money was too much..Who knows if PCB would have gotten the compensation amount then NAZAM would not have kept it in his own pocket...

[Fast Bowler]

They say you shouldn't judge a book by its cover but neither should you judge it by a single chapter. Let's not forget how Sethi ended up getting this job in the first place. I won't take away the things he did achieve and all credit to him for that. Now, coming on to the actual issue. How many feel Sethi has at the very least set the right direction for Pakistan cricket going forward? I certainly don't think so. There are no lasting changes in the actual structure that will give us good players in the future.

My issue with Pakistan cricket has always been with regards to the poor structure and the PCB bureaucracy. I am glad to see that Imran is on a similar page and intends to revamp the structure all the way to the grassroots.

Ehsan Mani is a fair choice and only time will tell better. Having said so, even if Imran had picked Younis Khan for the job, I wouldn't have cared. I want to see the aforementioned changes being brought around and I couldn't care less who does it. If Ehsan Mani remains in the job and fails to achieve these then he is no better than his predecessor, who despite his success with PSL has given us little lasting change otherwise.

When possible and when your bout of hysteria is over, go over to the PCB site and READ the constitution to understand how the appointments are made.

 

[New Yorker]

Absolutely. First and foremost, the PCB at this point needs a clean hands administrator and diplomat who can help build a credible institution for the future. Good governance, transparency, the institutionalization of proper elections for the next PCB Chairman. The Presidential appointment of Mani is the best guarantee that Mani will be the last Presidential appointment.

 

[Mamoon]

When possible and when your bout of hysteria is over, go over to the PCB site and READ the constitution to understand how the appointments are made.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with Imran goofing up. He didn’t know the process by which a PCB Chairman is appointed, so he used it as an opportunity to take a short at the PM.

However, it backfired once he was educated on the process.

So in 2016, he claimed that the PCB is a mess because the PM appoints the chairman.

Two days ago, he stated that “he has appointed” Mani, only to be informed that he doesn’t have the authority to do, and can only nominate a candidate to the BoDs.

He clearly has no idea what he is doing and doesn’t care to educate himself on the process before opening his mouth, but unnecessary point scoring always backfires.

This isn’t about me and my hysteria, but the Imran visibly making a mockery of himself over three tweets. Imagine if Nawaz’s media cell would have made these three tweets - PTI supporters would be falling off their chairs.

I think, IK's Tweeter handler was a bit too excited .... I'll be surprised if he has the time to update Nation for every such actions in his 1st week of office

Regarding appointment of PCB Chairman (more preciously tweets between 2016 & 2018), I believe there had been a change in process. If I can recall correctly, PCB Chairman was hand picked by it Patron (PM) in past, then the Constitution was amended in recent times in a way that BoG votes to elect PCB C - in this case, in last voting NS was the only candidate & selected/elected unanimously.

 

[InziRules]

Yes and No.

Firstly, on Sethi. He had to go. The article was well outside the remit of PCB chief and no PCB chief should have a job on the side.

On Mani, I hope he's an interim choice and he puts in a system so someone from within the PCB can be promoted. Like it should be.

He mostly tweets himself, and becoming PM hasn’t stopped him from working out in the morning, so I do think he has enough time to tweet himself, especially when it comes to making such a big announcement.

I am a bit unclear about the last para - please correct me if I am wrong.

What I understand is, PM (chief patron) will nominate/approve candidate or candidates for the Chairman position - then BoG will go through a voting process to select the man.

Therefore, every candidate (s) have to be chosen/approved by PM and if he nominates only one name - still they’ll go through the whole election process and elect a Chairman through democratic way.

No that is not how it works. As I have stated before:

The Chairman is elected from the Board of Governors (BoG). As per the PCB constitution, the patron of the PCB can nominate two people to the Board of Governors (BoG).

With Sethi's resignation, a special meeting of the PCB Board of Governors will be convened to elect a new chairman from the 10 board members (simple majority). Anyone from the BoG can submit their nomination papers for the chairman's election.

So PM can nominate a candidate, but up to the BoG members whether that candidate is elected/election is contested. In all likelihood, will be uncontested and Mani will be elected by the BoG.

KARACHI : In an audit carried out by the Auditor General of Pakistan (AGP), significant discrepancies have been revealed with regards to the first and second edition of Pakistan Super League (PSL).

According to Daily Express, due to prevailing cronyism within Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) quite a few major contracts were awarded without publishing a proper call for tenders during the first two seasons of PSL. If the contracts were given by following the correct procedures, the board’s financial gains would have improved considerably.

PM Imran nominates Asad Ali Khan, Ehsan Mani as members of PCB BoG
Sources have also said that many appointments on important positions were based on favouritism while production and ticketing matters were not handled properly.

The selections of Naila Bhatti — Director Marketing — and Usman Wahla — General Manager International Cricket Operations — were specifically mentioned. The audit raised questions over their appointments as far more qualified individuals were available to take up those roles.

It must be noted that Bhatti — who enjoyed a close relationship with former PCB Chairman Najam Sethi — was appointed as a director despite holding only a bachelor’s degree which is against the rules and regulations of PCB. Although it is not official yet but sources have said that she held a farewell meeting with her colleagues on the same day that Sethi submitted his resignation.

The sources further stated that the audit pointed out unnecessary expenses during the local and foreign visits made by board officials whereas there were also reservations over salaries and bonuses given to certain employees. The massive amounts spent on organising opening ceremonies were another major cause of concern.

Meanwhile Director of PCB’s security and Anti-corruption unit Col (retd) Mohammad Azam Khan’s failure to get No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Pakistan Army was also cited as a reason for dissent.

The audit report has been sent to Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC) while Sethi has field his response on this issue, before resigning, with the AGP. Now it is expected that the PCB, AGP and IPC will convene a meeting to discuss the details of this issue.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 Trophy to reach Pakistan in October

Earlier Sethi did come under fire for not carrying out audit of PSL despite being asked by a National Assembly Committee to submit a detailed report regarding the revenues and expenses of the league. The board had only filed a two-page report in response to committee’s request.

It has also been reported that the federal government is keen on making this report public as it wants to communicate the facts about PSL to the entire nation. The move won’t be considered as ‘political victimisation’ as the audit was carried out before the new government took charge — after general elections in Pakistan.

So PM can nominate a candidate, but up to the BoG members whether that candidate is elected/election is contested. In all likelihood, will be uncontested and Mani will be elected by the BoG.

So theoretically speaking, if the BOG abstain from voting for the nominated candidate(s) by the patron in chief, then what is the next course of action according to the PCB constitution?

 

[Angrez Pakistani]

Out of curiosity, does anyone know who else is running for the post of PCB chairmanship?

[mak36]

So theoretically speaking, if the BOG abstain from voting for the nominated candidate(s) by the patron in chief, then what is the next course of action according to the PCB constitution?

Sigh. Not sure what point you are trying to prove.

The PM is able to nominate up to two candidates to the BoG. Conventionally, one of these candidates is the PM's preferred candidate for PCB chairman.

However, anyone from the BoG (i.e. any of the ten members) can submit nomination papers to run for the chairman's election. To be clear, the PM's preferred candidate for Chairman must submit nomination papers in the same way any of the BoG's members would do so.

The person with the most votes wins.

In your hypothetical scenario, I assume there is only one candidate for chairman (the BoG member nominated by the PM). Even if we were to assume the other BoG members abstained from the vote, the PM's nominated candidate would vote for themselves and they would win (remember you only need a simple majority).

That's par for the course with any election, and in practise such a situation is unlikely to ever arise.

My own view is that there is a case for reform re the PM nominating candidates for the BoG (even though the current PM is in a unique position re cricket).

The nature of that reform will need some thought though.

 

[Abdullah719]

But who?

PM nominates Asad, Ehsan in PCB BoG

ISLAMABAD - The Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan — who is also the Patron of the Pakistan Cricket Board — has nominated Ehsan Mani and Asad Ali Khan as members of PCB Board of Governors (BoG), in a notification issued by the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC).

Soon after the resignation by former PCB Chairman Najam Sethi, PM Imran had nominated Ehsan Mani — who is a former International Cricket Council (ICC) President — as his pick for the new PCB chairman. According to the constitution of PCB, the patron must nominate two names for representation on the BoG in case the chairman resigns. Khan’s second choice in this regard is Asad Ali Khan — who is currently a board member on, both, Punjab and Pakistan Veteran Cricket Association. The Election Commissioner for the Pakistan Cricket Board Justice (retd) Syed Afzal Haider has already taken charge as interim chairman of the board after Sethi’s resignation.

Reviving cricket ties against India is important (and perhaps it might even happen, because there's always a sense of optimism on both sides when there is a change of government on either side), but its not the only thing that matters. The PSL franchise owners are now important stakeholders in the PCB. First order of business should be to reassure them, there will be continuity at PCB in terms of the policies that led to their investment in the PSL.

 

[SensiblePakFan]

KARACHI : The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is expected to carry out an audit of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and all three editions of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), a well-informed source told The Express Tribune on Thursday. The development is likely to take place after the arrival of the new chairman.

According to details, the new Federal Finance Minister Asad Umar has suggested a detailed audit of PCB and all editions of the PSL by SBP.

The source further added that the finance minister wants the SBP to conduct the audit in the same manner as they conduct for the other banks.
PCB has been beset with internal rivalries and corruption: Najam Sethi

The PCB chairman will be elected on September 4 and as soon as he takes the charge, he is likely to call a meeting of the Board of Governors (BoG) where the finance minister’s suggestion is likely to be approved.

It is important to mention here that the audit of PSL’s first two editions was already carried out by Auditor General of Pakistan on the suggestion of the National Assembly Committee.

In that report, significant discrepancies have been revealed, where few major contracts were awarded without publishing a proper call for tenders, which led to heavy financial losses for the cricket board.

The report further stated that many appointments on important positions were based on favouritism while production and ticketing matters were not handled properly.

The selections of Naila Bhatti — Director Marketing — and Usman Wahla — General Manager International Cricket Operations — were specifically mentioned.

The audit raised questions over their appointments as far more qualified individuals were available to take up those roles.

It must be noted that Bhatti — who enjoyed a close relationship with former PCB Chairman Najam Sethi — was appointed as a director despite holding only a bachelor’s degree which is against the rules and regulations of PCB.

The massive amounts spent on organising opening ceremonies were another major cause of concern.

IK should nip it in the bud and sack Mani now

Goes without saying..... the old fella is turning pcb into a laughing stock once again. The disastrous decision to bring Mohsin Khan into a role in PCB is threatening the very foundations of credibility and goodwill that has been generated over the last few years. If he had been following cricket in Pakistan, he would know that very few ex cricketers have the class or intellect to be promoted in any senior roles if you want to keep a modicum of professionalism.

Frankly, mani is in over his head and doesn't know what he's doing. Sack him now and stop the train from derailing further.

What do you guys think?

 

[Michael Chopra]

He won't. Mani one of the BoGs of Shaukat Khanum Hospital and is also a stakeholder.

 

[Eagle_Eye]

He won't. Mani one of the BoGs of Shaukat Khanum Hospital and is also a stakeholder.

He doesn't know how to transform and lead change.... he's an accountant by trade, and a nodding donkey in higher roles.

IK has to ask him to step down and roll back decisions and committees he's set up. Advertise the role to anyone inside and outside Pakistan.

 

[Extra_Cover]

This thread is so immature and defines knee jerk reactions.

I'm not advocating for Mani but I'm simply advocating for simple courtesy when someone takes on a new role. You want to sack the chairman of PCB within 60 days of his employment because PCB included Mohsin Khan in a committee? You sir are genius.

On other threads we talk about long-term goals of PCB chairman which includes inviting countries to tour Pakistan and goal should be to have a test played in Pakistan by 2020. Reviving the domestic structure, invest more on women's cricket, increase salary caps for domestic tournaments, removal of ghost employees and leeching high ranking officers within PCB, market and advertise PSL more. Instead of all these elements you are holding a grudge because of Mohsin Khan, that is really shallow.

Let's review his tenure so far

- get rid of department cricket, where are the competent people to carry out the risk/benefit of this venture. Cricket committee has the competent people?
- publishes expenses of previous chair, when full accounts were not released nor a freedom of information request was lodged for this. The purpose was exactly what? Why couldn't it have waited till full accounts were published.
- appoints a cricket committee to set up a parallel power structure
- in private says, ignore qayyum report and states something else in public
- appoints a rabid racist imbecile as head of the committee who immediately goes out to undermine the selectors, coach and captain. Make matters worse this person then goes into lobby for inclusion of Butt.

This is all as result of Mani being appointed..... do you really want to let him carry on? What exactly are you waiting for?

Let's review his tenure so far

- get rid of department cricket, where are the competent people to carry out the risk/benefit of this venture. Cricket committee has the competent people?
As you say we don't know the risk/benefit of this move materialise yet. Why don't we let him come up with a better domestic structure. You have got to accept that something is really wrong with our current domestic setup when 40 year old Zulifiqar Babar is running through line ups domestically. On other hand we have been pretty consistent in u19 WC so why don't we see these u19 performers in international cricket?
- publishes expenses of previous chair, when full accounts were not released nor a freedom of information request was lodged for this. The purpose was exactly what? Why couldn't it have waited till full accounts were published.
For you know PCB is still one of the Govt owned bodies, had PCB been a private entity I would have agreed that this is wrong. But since it is Govt body we as public of Pakistan need to have transparent access to their books as we are their biggest stakeholders.
- appoints a cricket committee to set up a parallel power structure
What is wrong here? If this body is independent then I don't see anything wrong with it.
- in private says, ignore qayyum report and states something else in public
He should not have contradicting statements but if he does he should clarify that.
- appoints a rabid racist imbecile as head of the committee who immediately goes out to undermine the selectors, coach and captain. Make matters worse this person then goes into lobby for inclusion of Butt.
That committee is an independent committee for advise purposes, I haven't read anywhere that it is mandatory to act on the advise coming from that committee. The purpose of that committee is to bring the best out of the available pool which is to educate new players on international level difficulties, promote professionalism, etc I haven't read anywhere that they are going to be taking selection decisions. I in no way support decision to appoint Mohsin Khan but I don't see this as a reason to call for sacking of PCB chairman.

This is all as result of Mani being appointed..... do you really want to let him carry on? What exactly are you waiting for?

Najam Sethi was a thousand times better. Mani is incompetent and outdated.

Was listening to headlines and it was mentioned that Mohsin Khan has been issued a notice for his statements in the media and asked to refrain and concentrate on the committee. Search for alternate also begun.


Don't know how factual the news is.

You can’t be issued a notice for something you said before you join an organization. Secondly, if you are joining an advisory committee and if it’s a non paying role, not sure if you are bound by any rules. Thirdly. If you have not signed a contract with the board which stipulates your do’s and don’ts, you are not bound by any laws per se

he is Ok, but Sethi was far more intelligent and dynamic personality than him. So far it doesn't look like he will be able to match Sethi brilliance!
