PCB’s new constitution no longer allows Prime Minister to remove Chairman

[Major]

Following approval from Federal Cabinet and a formal notification from the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination, the new constitution of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has now come into effect.

According to the new constitution, the Prime Minister of Pakistan can no longer remove PCB Chairman from his position. The notification has been issued under subsection 1 of section 3 and 4 of the Sports Development and Control Ordinance 1962.

The PCB Chairman will now be answerable to the Board of Governors and there will be a Chief Executive Officer as well.

According to the 2014 constitution, the PM, who is the Patron-in-Chief of the PCB, could dissolve the BoG and remove PCB Chairman. Prime Minister can now provide policy guidance to the cricket’s governing body.

The new constitution focuses on reshuffling executive powers within the PCB, a new domestic structure and making PCB an independent body without interference from the government.

The Prime Minister cannot dissolve the board or remove chairman now.

This is big news and credit goes to Imran Khan for this. This is how our institutions should be. WIthout political interference.

Excellent decision.

Professional environments like this prevent nepotism and cronyism.

How it always should've been.

Great news! Political influence has destroyed Pak Cricket. Time to end political influence in PHF and PFF as well.

Patron in chief can still appoint two members of the BOG

That should have been removed as we,l

Fantastic decision.

Politics and cricket should be separate. Cricket board should be independent.

Things looking good off the field for Pakistan cricket, hope to see more signs of that on the field now...

Incredible. Very rarely do people give up power.

Not sure if this is the right thing. What can be done in the event you have an absolutely incompetent Chairman who has no intentions of resigning and there is no way to get rid of him.

In the Pakistani culture a check and balance in every thing is a must

Actually, the older system was guilty of what you're saying.

In this setup, the Board of Governors will oversee Ehsan Mani. His powers/responsibilities are also cut in half due to the inclusion of a proper CEO.

The previous system was a disaster because Imran Khan could come in and get rid of everyone (BoG and Chairman). This meant a PM with no knowledge could turn the PCB upside down if he pleased. That's not going to happen anymore.

The old system resulted in the chairman getting replaced with every change in government, making it extremely unbalanced and volatile. The BoG are now in place as a check and balance.

Also we need time and space for these institutions to grow so this is a good move
