It seems all is not well with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after the 53rd meeting of the PCB Board of Governors (BoG), was adjourned for a later date due to an incomplete quorum.

As per reports, majority members of the BoG rejected the appointment of Wasim Khan as managing director. 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.”

The resolution further stated that “any move to abolish departments and regions in the restructuring of domestic cricket” and demanded formation of a Domestic Cricket Restructuring Committee (DCRC) to draw up proposals for domestic restructuring, to be presented at a special BoG meeting on April 30 in Lahore.”

Meanwhile, PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani expressed disappointment over ‘today’s events’ and reaffirmed to ‘not get derailed by personal agendas.’

“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,” said PCB Chief Ehsan Mani.

“Yesterday, we called on the honourable Chief Minister of Balochistan and engaged in fruitful and enlightening discussions to promote cricket in Balochistan. It is, therefore, particularly disappointing that the representative from Balochistan also refused to return for the BoG meeting,” he said.

As per PCB, the meeting was adjourned for a brief period pursuant to five members attempting to table a resolution, which was not part of the agenda.

“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,” Mani added.

I called it earlier too!

The monsters that rule public sector in Pakistan (including PCB) . . can never allow a qualified and competent person to come and challenge the status quo . . bring structure and begin to inculcate some professionalism . .

This was way tooo predictable . . Major test for Ehsan Mani and even the govt to see if they succumb to this pressure or hold their fort . . I don't know how tough or easy it is . . but these monsters have destroyed Pakistan cricket and our public sector in general for decades!
 
they just signed their pink slips..IK isnt going to tolerate this garbage especially since its cricket..I think Ehsan is going to pay a visit to the IK and Arif Alvi soon. My personal opinion is that the PCB should be completely abolished at some point and a new modern cricket board reconstituted.

Apparently IK has already expressed his disappointment at the developments and is planning a meeting with Mani.

this is the excuse Mani and co needed to deal with these dinosaurs. I'm sure they had strategised at the outcome of Wasim was rejected. Inshallah now we will finally get somewhere.
 
Just like the Mafia of the Sharifs, Zardari and Bhutto, the Mafia in the PCB needs to be handled by the PM by pure brute force.

On a side note, does this mean that Wasim Khan is no longer a PCB employee until this is resolved. Have to say Mani unlike Sethi looks very weak, lethargic, he should have sorted this behind the scenes rather than this coming out in public like this
 
53rd BoG meeting adjourned

Quetta, 17 April 2019: The 53rd meeting of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Board of Governors, the first-ever in Quetta, was adjourned for a later date due to an incomplete quorum.

The meeting had started with the members offering fateha for all those who lost their lives in a tragic incident in Quetta’s Hazarganji market as well as Naseem Khan, a first-class cricketer and a PCB coach, who recently passed away.

The meeting was then adjourned for a brief period pursuant to five members attempting to table a resolution, which was not part of the agenda. The PCB Chairman had proposed any business other than the agenda could be considered under Any Other Items at the end of the meeting.

However, the Khan Research Laboratory (KRL) and the four regional representatives refused to return to complete the meeting.

PCB Chairman Mr Ehsan Mani 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.

“Yesterday, we called on the honourable Chief Minister of Balochistan and engaged in fruitful and enlightening discussions to promote cricket in Balochistan. It is, therefore, particularly disappointing that the representative from Balochistan also refused to return for the BoG meeting.”

‘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.”

The PCB Constitution is available here.

The following members of the BoG attended the meeting:

Mr Ehsan Mani - Chairman, PCB

Mr Asad Ali Khan - Member

Mr Kabir Ahmed Khan - Member

Mr Muhammad Ayaz Butt - Member

Mr Muhammad Numan Butt - Member

Mr Shah Dost - Member

Mr Shahrez Abdullah Khan - Member

Mr Akbar Durrani - Ex-Officio

Did not attend due to prior engagements:

Lt Gen (R) Muzammil Hussain - Member

Lt Gen (R) Javed Zia - Member

PCB needs to be strong against this mafia otherwise Pakistan cricket will become more minnows
 
BoG member Nauman Butt held a press conference and was whining about Wasim Khan's salary and car :))
 
If Mani didn't anticipate this and the resistance he will face on:
1. Appointing someone like a Wasim Khan who is qualified and competent in this domain
2. Work on reforming the domestic structure (which is ruled by Mafias)

Then, you gotta seriously doubt his leadership credentials! So unless he has a plan, this doesn't look good for him . . and it puts Wasim Khan under serious stress who has moved his family over from England and left a burgeoning career (and potentially a director cricket job for English cricket) to take up this job . .
 
Ik should abolish the government body and employ people with merit.
 
Mani is too old and fragile for this type of pressure. May be IK should release Mani and make Wasim as PCB chairman and let him appoint right people in PCB.
 
Just read the wording of that resolution and listen to the press conference by that BOG member and it’s quite clear now why things don’t change in Pakistan cricket - there is no way in the world these dinosaurs will agree on anything that is constructive and for the betterment of Pakistan cricket, anything that will potentially reduce their influence and “importance”.

Wasim Khan would have been naive if he was not prepared for this kind of opposition - because the culture in the PCB and cricket set up with these crocodiles around is one where people are appointed and selected on loyalty and nepotism, not merit.

Come on IK - Do this one little favour on Pakistan cricket that gave you so much fame and respect, just get rid of these crocodiles.

Whats up with the violent and fascist vibe in your posts?
 
Khan is probably too honest and professional for some of these dinosaurs involved in the PCB.
 
There is nothing wrong with Mani working on domestic structure, getting Wasim Khan in, preparing a presentation and also letting BoG members show their true colors.

There is everything wrong with Mani not being prepared for this outcome, appearing to be caught off guard and then relying on Imran Khan to do the dirty work for him.

Mani hasn't prepared well to take on these board members.

He is the CEO - this is weak CEO performance - getting lost in powerpoints and not anticipating how he will get the whole thing over the line - with the entrenched BoG. Even if goes past them, I am not sure he knows how things happen at ground level.

Imran didn't know either until the last 20 years - but he traversed every nook and cranny of Pakistan to learn ground realities and how to make alliances to win his PM ship.

Mani probably hasn't gone as far as Pindi stadium.

So a lot of the articles are mentioning that quorum was not reached for the meeting. I would assume under such circumstances these resolutions mean absolutely nothing and hold no legal authority. I wonder if this was a coordinated stunt by the BoG.
 
This is extraordinary given how the BoG are just rubber stamp for the govt.s. It also proves Mani is a toothless chairman who lacks decision-making and getting things done.

He hasfailed to deliver on everything he was said to come and change since August 2018.

Mani has been ignorant of the many developments letting the employees run the PCB as they please. First it was seen in the Pakistan selection where chief selector and coach are selecting and chucking player careers without any oversight and now the BoG have revolted.

The mafias are strengthened by a weak chairman and Mani can't even induct Managing Director.

Mani has the patron in chief with him, they have the power to restructure and change the BoG.

My disappointments lie with Mani as his poor job has resulted in him being challenged. Can't blame anyone else.
 
DOes the Chairman or Patron in cheif have the power to dissolve these BOG members?

Pathetic, this shows why tehre hasnt been any progress in pakistan cricket. Because of such BOG members
 
I was against the abolishing of depts, but after this, i am for abolishing depts and will support waseem khan
 
If these dinosaurs cannot be removed due to PCB constitution, then Imran has to dissolve the PCB.

Create a new and competent organisation to run cricket in Pakistan. Call it 'Cricket Pakistan' or if you feel like trolling, 'Naya PCB' :))
 
The current government and the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board need to understand that they are working against a rigged system. That system although democratic, is highly corrupt and incompetent. A complete change in the domestic structure will eliminate jobs. Essentially these individuals are fighting against the possibility of losing their jobs.
 
Good decision, I would trust the decision of a board member rather than a guy who came from abroad and has literally no clue about what goes on in Pakistan and how things are run.
 
So much for Imran khan and his 'so-called' change in cricketing structure :)))

The rhetoric we have been hearing for almost 20 years now...

Departmental system is the only viable system unless we have a better alternative that is financially viable too, and doesn't just rely on tangential thoughts like 1 million jobs and 5 million homes.

This is not just about jobs, our National team is so mediocre because of this system and incompetent people.

Wasim Khan is a competent man and a professional that is why these corrupt members are against him

Everyone that comes from abroad and earns in Pound Sterlings doesn't make them a knight in shining armor.

We gotta let go of this colonial hangover...

My point is find a constitutional way to get someone in, by getting everyone on board.

You can't just impose someone as an MD out of nowhere.

Specially someone who is just ordering things to be changed overnight without having to be a team player just coz things happen differently abroad
 
Secondly about the Departments vs Regions debate, people have been very ignorant about the players produced by the departments over the years.

Imran has been screaming for an alternative since the 80s, but apparently the 80s and 90s produced the best players from the departmental structure.

If you want to reinvent the wheel you need to find an alternative that works and just doesn't rely on rhetoric. You would just end up with egg on your face. Just like in the case of 1 million jobs and 5 million homes.
 
Hopefully IK steps in and shoos these tools away, and allows wasim Khan to continue this good work.

Decisions reached without Quorum are non binding. Therefore this whole thing is a stunt from some BOG members to get noticed..

Our national team is not incompetent.

If you look at the structure in place that exists compared to the other sporting institutions of the country, it is head and shoulders above the rest of them.

Still has alot to be desired, but the players who want to be as good as the International standards can still reach that level if they want to.

Colonial hangover? The PCB has been run by Pakistanis. Wasim is not here to earn a buck. He would have got a better wage working for teh ECB who literally headhunted him and he was earmarked for key positions already.

As for this "imposing" bakwaas, there was a vacancy and hew as hired for the job. I can only assume this was done with the approval of the board. Therefore this whole thing smacks of a concerted final attempt to save the gravy train. they know whats coming. you dont have to know about Pakistan cricket to understand bad organisation, bad processes and bad communication. These are basic all encompassing issues that are unrelated to a county's culture. There is a work culture that is inherent within the PCB but that also needs a complete overhaul too.

The current setup has failed. Therefore it needs immediate restructuring and a total organisational review..this constitutional way bakwaas doesnt work. The organisation needs a root and branch overhaul..they are worried Wasim is going to take their cushy jobs away from them..

Been hearing this for around 20 years....

There is nothing in your comments besides rhetoric and hyperbole.

I have never heard a practical solution to any of the 'overhaul' and 'change' that has been talked about forever.

Everyone comes in to bring change and becomes a part of the system. Overhaul, abolish, dismiss these are the terms commonly used for the PCB.

Secondly change is never immediate and revolutionary, just like in the films. It is slower and gradual and requires alot of ground work. Is Wasim the guy that is ready to do all that? If he is he won't go complaining to his masters at the slightest of inconvenience.

If I am correct, Sethi had also said that he was trying to fight and dissolve the mafia but their hold was too deep rooted and powerful. Plus Sethi literally holds zero power in PCB atm. Your criticism doesn't hold any merit.
 
Wasim Khan has the perfect resume for the CEO, MD position in the PCB. Anyone opposing his appointment clearly has ulterior motives

Maafia Raaj is here to stay. No one can remove the dinosaurs and monsters other than the PM himself. And now the battle starts. Sethi will be happy that the audit report of PSL 1 and 2 will be forgotten as the focus will shift to this new drama.
 
I have one little observation here - out of the 9 BoG members, two were absent & rest 6 went against Mani, who actually represents PCB Patron. Now, I can see that the two gentlemen absent are two Retired Generals ...... could be coincidence, but I do smell something else.

I am liking this actually- may be at last we’ll see a proper restructuring of PCB. I am not sure about what amendments political crooks did to protect their chair, but I think there must be a window by which PCB Patron can defunct the BoG and run PCB on Adhoc basis, or directly under sports ministry, may be a officer at the rank of Additional Secretary being the chairman of task force to run the operation until there is a fresh constitution.

One thing for sure, IK has 50+ months at hand before next election, enough time for trash cleaning. The timing of this call is perfect in that sense. I wrote it many times that, a re-engineering or modification is impossible at current state of affairs after decades long spoiling by “democracy”; what PCB needs an absolute demolishing job from top to last top of piling, 20 metres below ground level .... then rebuild it brick by brick. Not an easy task, but 4 years are lot of time.

It’s good that the fight has started, now we might see some actions; if only Mani was 20 years younger....

Problem is that IK has a million problems (much stiffer and grave) to deal with than a dis-functioning PCB . . the fact of the matter is that Mani sb got played!

Pick your battles and pick the right time to pick them phrase is universal regardless of who you are . . IK is in quite a pickle here!

He doesn’t need to fight it by his own hand. He needs to appoint “a capable crook”, who knows how to play dirty. If Mani is to fight it in “proper channel”, 4 years will pass by just in court dates....

Cream won’t come out with straight finger. In general, I have seen blackmailing works perfectly in such cases. From the running affairs of PCB & possible income figures, I am damn sure each of these people have lot, lot to hide. It’s more or less same in South Asia and these people “fix” such hidden files with ”“gift envelopes” to Ministry, Secretariat or the crooks waiting at PM office (PMs don’t take it by own hand ... it’s haram, they are elected by public, they have to face Allah one day!!!).

As long as IK is solid, it’s not even an issue - unleash couple of ACB (Anti Corruption Bureau, in PAK they call it probably NAB) “dogs” in their trail and make sure that no “gift packages” are exchanged - in few months time, most of these BoGs will resign on their own for “early settlement”.
 
There are people involved in Pakstan cricket who are doing nothing, getting big fat paycheques who don't want anyone to come into the PCB and sort out the mess.

There is a fear that Wasim Khan will come into the PCB and make it a professional set-up and get rid of the dead wood.

Some folk don't want Wasim Khan analysing what they are doing and what they are getting paid for and that is driving all this anti-Wasim Khan feeling in the media and within PCB.
 
Send Mani home, make Majid Khan the Chairman, but won;t happen. MK and IK are not in good terms since IK dropped MK in 1982 during England tour for lack of form.

Other MJ is most honest and straightforward person to take the charge. A bid older though.

Rameez Raja is also not a bad choice.
 
Am reading that many people in the PCB and some members of this BOD have very close links with the PML-N which is why they are creating problems. IK needs to kick these people out by brute force, only way to deal with this mafia.

MK is too old now, and the guy is absolute gentleman, polished and honest - once he declined to accept match fee considering that he wasn't performing!!!! (for Glamargoan)

He himself created this mess, otherwise indeed not a bad call. But he is also close to 70 now .... I am looking for someone who can literally box physically .....

An active, sadist, vindictive and naughty but cricket enthusiast Major General or above ranked officer can be a very good choice. Not sure if he will be interested, but DG ISPR Asif Gafoor ........................ :)
 
Najam Sethi backed the BOG in their rejection of Wasim Khan and claimed that Ehsan Mani was illegally imposing his decisions on the BOG. Pretty hypocritical given that he used to complain about the same problems as PCB Chairman.
 
Ehsan Mani's position is now in danger I believe.
 
when was last time imran khan played a domestic game 40 years back?
and Australia system he likes he watched 40 years back rightJust heard last night South africa is increasing FC teams to 12 and Australia already did 8 teams in big bash, india has 29 fc teams according to population Australia is 3 crore and Pakistan 20 crore
what your point imran sahab?


having said that gullu butt's need to be removed asap. The full governing board needs to be dissolved
 
This should not be difficult to handle.

1) Ehsan Mani needs to be confident that the decisions that have been made are correct and as per the constitution.

2) Call all the Board members and Waseem Khan's team to a meeting.

3) Ask them to present their views in a professional manner of why they disagree with each other. Ask for better alternatives. Ask them why the current structure shouldnt be overhauled despite its failures.

4) Listen to everyone with an open mind. The one who makes convincing arguments should be agreed with.

5) Take a reconciliatory approach until this point because abrupt changes or firing of so many senior officials at once is ill advised.

6) However, Those hell bent on sabotaging the meeting or not following orders after the
conclusion of meeting should be made redundant as they would clearly be letting their ego come in way of duty.

Ridiculous, I hope that this mess gets sorted. Wasim Khan deserves to stay and about time someone sorted things out.
 
Pakistan Cricket Board has issued show cause notices to two other members of BOG, president of FATA region, Kabir Ahmed Khan and President of Quetta region Shah Dost, over misconduct.

The two members has to respond in 7 days.

LAHORE: As the Pakistan cricket team gears up for the upcoming World Cup, the sport’s governing body of the country is going through an internal crisis.

The Pakistan Cricket Board’s (PCB) move to end the role of departments in domestic circuit has been met with severe resistance from its own Board of Governors (BoG).

The BoG’s five members walked out of a key meeting held in Quetta on April 17. The members alleged that PCB chairman Ehsan Mani has been trying to run Pakistan’s cricket affairs in a dictatorial manner.

Read: PCB board members reject MD Wasim Khan's appointment, present resolution against it

One of the members who protested was Sialkot Region head Nouman Butt. The PCB has taken him to court with his case referred to an independent adjudicator the very next day after the controversial meeting.

Two other members who walked out — Fata’s Kabir Khan and Quetta Region’s Shah Dost — have also been issued showcause notices and have been asked to respond within seven days.

However, Lahore Region’s Shahrez Abdullah Rokhari, who initially stood against the PCB chairman along with Nouman, Kabir and Dost, has dissociated himself from the group and has now reconciled with the PCB in a recent development.

“Yes, Rokhari has decided to dissociate himself from the group which moved a resolution in the BoG meeting in Quetta. Showcause notices have been served to the two other members of that group who have been asked to submit a reply to the PCB within next seven days,” a PCB spokesman said.

“The showcause notices were served to Shah Dost and Kabir Khan as president of their respective regions while the case of Nouman Butt has been referred to an adjudicator as member of the BoG after another member registered a complaint against Nouman,” the spokesman said.

The fifth member of the revolting group was Khan Reseach Laboratories’ Ayaz Butt. It has been learnt that instead of directly sending any showcause notice to Ayaz, the PCB has sent one to the department’s head.

Dawn has also learnt that the PCB has cancelled the elections of the Gujrat District Association, which were to be held on Tuesday. According to sources the move has been made since the Association falls within the Sialkot Region which is headed by Nouman.Meanwhile, Nouman has now taken his case to the Lahore High Court (LHC) which issued notices to both the parties (Nouman and PCB) to appear on May 7. In the petition, Nouman has alleged that the PCB chairman is trying to run the board’s affairs in a dictatorial manner and that he (Nouman) did not violate any clause of the PCB constitution.

THIS IS A TRAP.



PCB are playing a masterstroke. They are creating a atmosphere where Pakistan cricket will fill cornered and you know who what happens then. I don't need to write it down.




You can almost read it ahead can't you? The famous battle cry! :imran
 
Typical from PCB, and some of the comments slating Wasim Khan on here as "buck-chasing" or "someone who will run to his superiors at every oppurtunity" are shocking. This is a professional Pakistani who was headhunted by the ECB, and was a very serious contender to take over Andrew Strauss as director of English cricket, ye he still chose his home country. I am pretty sure the benefits offered by the ECB highly outweigh what the PCB is offering this guy. He is here to make a change so lets get behind him, nothing changes over night we need to be patient, but believe me anything this guy does will only benefit pakistan in the long run.
 
ISLAMABAD: National Assembly Standing Committee on Inter Provincial Coordination (IPC) has taken strong notice of the Pakistan Cricket Board’s recent action against the members of its Board of Governors (BOG) and has directed the PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani to withhold his decisions of barring one member and issue show cause notices to two other members.

The standing committee chairman, MNA Agha Hassan Baloch, has written a letter to Chairman PCB last Tuesday, April 23rd to withhold the decisions of barring member Nouman Butt from BoG meetings and to serve show-cause notices to two others. “The members of BoG have approached me for withholding of decisions the PCB has taken against them,” he wrote.

“They also want the decisions taken at the BoG meeting held on 17th April in Quetta to be implemented. The matter is going to be discussed in the forthcoming meeting of Standing Committee on IPC which is scheduled to be held on 6th May at the Parliament House Islamabad.”

“It is therefore, requested to please withhold the decisions/actions taken against the members of BoG till the meeting of committee is over,” the letter further said.

Speaking to Dawn, IPC Committee Chairman Agha Hassan said that committee will hold detailed discussion on the issue since the BoG members have further informed him that if departmental cricket is abolished, a large number of cricketers will become jobless. “We have also decided to take view points of former cricketers on this issue as well,” he said.

It may be mentioned here that in the meeting that held in Quetta last week, five members of BoG out of seven, reportedly tabled a resolution and, according to them, they had got it passed with majority against the PCB plans to shut down all regional and departmental teams and turn it into a provincial system.

They also termed the PCB action of appointing Wasim Khan as PCB managing director as illegal and unconstituional.

Subsequently, the PCB barred Nouman Butt, head of Sialkot region, from attending any BoG and committee meetings and issued show-cause notices to two more BOG members — Shah Dost from Quetta and Kabir Ahmed Khan from Fata.

Lahore Region’s head Shahrez Abdullah Rokhari, who initially stood against the PCB chairman along with Nouman, Kabir and Dost, has dissociated himself from the group and a few days ago reconciled with the PCB. The fifth member of the revolting group Ayaz Butt, from KRL, was not served a direct show-cause but the PCB has sent the notice to his department.

The standing committee, besides discussing the BoG issue in the next meeting, will also take up the issue of Pakistan Hockey Federation and decline in hockey.

You will be surprised how many 'defenders of democracy' will come out of the woodwork if he does that.
 
The Lahore High Court (LHC) on Monday ordered the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to furnish a written response to a petition challenging its Chairman Ehsan Mani and Managing Director Waseem Khan's appointments on the grounds that they allegedly are in a conflict-of-interest situation.

The petition, filed by Nauman Butt, a member of PCB's board of governors (BoG), said that since "Mani is a permanent resident of Britain, his appoint is illegal as it constitutes a conflict of interest."

The petitioner also said that "a majority of the BoG members have already declared the appointment of Waseem, the managing director, as null and void owing to him being a British national."

"To not implement the orders of the BoG members as per the PCB constitution is a violation of the law," the petition stated, requesting the court to intervene and remove Khan from the position.

After a preliminary hearing, Justice Muzamil Akhtar issued notices to PCB officials, directing them to submit their response by May 21.

The petitioner was among the five BoG members who had walked out of a key meeting held in Quetta on April 17. The members had alleged that the PCB chairman had been trying to run Pakistan’s cricket affairs in a dictatorial manner.

Subsequently, the PCB had taken Nauman Butt to court with his case referred to an independent adjudicator the very next day after the controversial meeting.

Two other members who walked out — Fata’s Kabir Khan and Quetta Region’s Shah Dost — were also issued show-cause notices.

However, Lahore Region’s Shahrez Abdullah Rokhari, who initially stood against the PCB chairman along with Nauman, Kabir and Dost, had dissociated himself from the group and has since reconciled with the board.

This is beyond shameful that an MNA office can't get a properly written out letter. This english is worse than a child. "My Dearl"? who proof read this? Also why is he using gmail as an MNA? Also, that first sentence is not even understandable.

Wasim must think he's entered the twilight zone. The guy was a finalist for the England Team Director job. The UK gov't wants him to run one of their big agencies and we have these jealous and absolutely worthless idiots trying to tear him down all because they're more worried about their pockets rather than the national game.:facepalm:

Typical from PCB, and some of the comments slating Wasim Khan on here as "buck-chasing" or "someone who will run to his superiors at every oppurtunity" are shocking. This is a professional Pakistani who was headhunted by the ECB, and was a very serious contender to take over Andrew Strauss as director of English cricket, ye he still chose his home country. I am pretty sure the benefits offered by the ECB highly outweigh what the PCB is offering this guy. He is here to make a change so lets get behind him, nothing changes over night we need to be patient, but believe me anything this guy does will only benefit pakistan in the long run.

no no but we need to hire iqbal qasim or a retired general ..not wasim..he's a bloody britisher..(excuse the french)
 
Clearly he has reduced the expanses for himself.
Can we also see the audits and expanses of other PCB's top employees from 2014-19?
 
Constitution of the PCB needs to be worked upon to make the changes more smooth. Earlier it is changed the better.
