ISLAMABAD – The electoral victory of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in the 11th general Elections is set to shake up the institutional structure of Pakistan with major changes in the top brass of state-owned institutions including Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

As Imran Khan is sure to take charge as the next Prime Minister of the country, his long-time friend Wasim Akram is expected to take over the reins of country’s cricket board, the PCB.

Currently, Najam Sethi, a veteran journalist is the PCB chief, however, Imran’s rise to power has paved way for the left-arm bowler to take control of PCB, which would definitely be reshuffled owing to Imran Khan’s cricketing past.

Akram’s selection as the next PCB chief was also confirmed by one of his family member in a conversation with a sports portal.

“Yes, Wasim is the front runner for becoming next PCB chairperson. He’s been associated with Imran Khan since both legends used to play cricket for Pakistan and now both ready to take the country on new heights,” a family member was quoted as saying by Sports Mirchi.

Sethi was appointed as the PCB chief by former premier Nawaz Sharif and he also faced the axe of superior courts, however, he consolidated his position after amending the PCB’s constitution.

With Imran Khan at the PM House, Sethi is unlikely to keep serving the cricket board as he has been a critique of Imran Khan and had been alleged to favour PML-N in the last General Elections of 2008.

Wasim Akram has played under the leadership of Imran Khan and had also bagged support of the public for the cricketer before the elections. He also dashed to Imran’s Bani Gala residence to congratulate him on the thumping victory in the elections.

Would personally prefer Wasim as Pakistan's overseas commentator rather than this role.
 
This can go either way Total disaster or great tenure
Personally i don.t think wasim is suited for this job
 
That would be a good move, but I don't know how good he'd be as a Chairman. But, if you have backing of the PM, who himself was a cricketer, then I don't think Wasim would find it difficult.

On a sidenote, this would help in cricketing relations with India. Imran as PM and Wasim as a Chairman, they both are respected and honoured individuals here in India. And we've seen how these two and Waqar were honoured in India at the 2016 T20I WC.

Also, Rajiv Shukla has recognized IK's election as a PM.
 
Not suitable as a chief. Wasim would be better in advisory/coaching roles rather than running pcb.
 
Give some positions to Waqar(not as a coach) and Shoaib, it would bring back the memories of 90s.

Imran, Wasim, Waqar and Shoaib.
 
What credentials does he have to be a chairman of the PCB? Don't support this decision.
 
Pros - He knows Imran well and what will be required of him. Well known around the world and very respected by all. Has the interests of Pakistan cricket at heart.

Con - Has no experience in management capacity.

I would prefer IK to have an interview process and choose the best man. These are just reports atm.
 
Being in the good books of IK might have worked for Waz here. What message does it send to Sharjeel, Amir, Asif etc. though?
 
Sethi made Wasim the PSL ambassador, gave him coaching gigs and helped him get involved in a coaching capacity with the PSL franchises. Wasim always talked highly of Sethi in interviews and was always seen laughing, smiling with him in Social Circles and at the very first opportunity he has readily become part of the scheme to dethrone him.

Pathetic stuff.

Logically this doesn't make sense for me, Imran Khan is a man about principal. Wasim doesn't have the proper qualification for this job. These are just reports, let's see what happens.
 
Don't think Wasim has in him enough managing skills to run the board. Sethi is doing a commendable job.
 
Please select someone that has credentials. Someone that is reliable and trustworthy.
 
Keep Sethi to see out his tenure cos he’s done a good job so far
Make Wasim Akram bowling coach if anything

After Sethi is finished then replace him with whoever you like

Sethi is waiting for his phonecall to clear out his desk, he's finished. Imran called him a low grade person in an recent interview.

I would like some with a business mentality to take over.
 
What will Wasim provide as a PCB chief?

I would think he is better suited in the role of a coaching. Just offer him a boat load of money.
 
Imran Khan namechecked Ehsan Mani last year in an interview as a potential PCB Chairman. I highly doubt he"d appoint someone with little administrative experience as Wasim Akram to such a role.

Wasim also lacks basic knowledge of domestic cricket.

Doubt he would be committed to the role.
 
People should know better than to blindly trust a Pakistani media source. Wait till it's actually announced.

Never heard of it.
 
I think Imran backs himself to have a vision and making eye raising decisions that later turn out to be master strokes. Waseem will only learn with time and he can serve this job for a long time to come if he plays his cards right. The guy is very popular all around the world and is essential in bringing in good ties with our neighbors and endorsing international cricket back home.
 
We need a proper administrator in this position.

Don't think this source is accurate. They might have just put this article together after seeing that picture of IK and Wasim together after the elections lol.
 
i do not think wasim id willing for this rule plus his past has many questions marks. i doubt it he would be offer this position.

I would leave Sathi for this rule just to make sure he does not uses PCB's money for personal use.

I dont think the cricketing relations are going to improve unless the Modi government backs down from their primary election narrative that is Anti-Pakistan. Pakistan has always tried to engage in cricket diplomacy and it has not worked since 2008.

On a side note, Rajiv Shukla is a nobody outside India so it does not matter what he does.
 
Also as per the likes of [MENTION=142451]Mian[/MENTION] and his gang told all of us that Imran will not autocratically choose the next PCB chairman. Lets see where it goes.
 
Lol the Qayyum report forbade Wasim for ever being considered for any coaching position or administrative position in Pakistan Cricket, the PCB Chairmanship will be a huge long shot. I can easily see someone going to court successfully over this.
 
Najam Sethi was a political recruitment of Nawaz Sharif so this decision was expected our courts removed him like 3 times? Every time Sethi was back thanks for his services for Nawaz Sharif the Patron-in-Chief of PCB.

But i don't really like Wasim name being considered (if the reports are true) when you already have experienced people like Majid Khan and Ehsan Mani why give it to someone like Wasim? Give it to one of the experienced guy and make it an independent body so they start electing their own head.

Wow. Imran will be a hypocrite if this happens.


His whole life he has said a chairman should be elected and at the end he brings in his friend.

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] is this just the start of nepotism?
 
Despite the outcry here, it would be a fantastic decision because like Imran, Wasim has been vocal about and knows very well in regards to the deficiencies in Pakistan's cricketing structure especially with domestics.

A charmastic, smooth talking big name who I feel has better negotiating powers than Sethi with bringing bigger teams back to Pakistan. I know who I would listen to if I was from CA, ECB and etc.

If these rumours are true, Imran Khan has hit his first ball for six. Let the Sethi and PML-N fans hate.

It's Wasim Akram not his nephew. Wasim is not corrupt or unaware of how world cricket is run. If he is given the job(which I dont think will happen), it will be because of cricketing expertise not because he's Imran's friend. There is a difference.

These were recommendations not binding legal sentences. Akram could be given the job and nothing will happen if he does.

yes he is unaware.

Administration jobs have nothing to do with your criketing expertise. Its a management job, not a playing or coaching job.

PCB handles all the zones and districts. There are over 1000 off employees he has to look after.

Much of it is yes but someone who is known and respected in the cricketing world can help ensure more series for Pakistan against the bigger nations and being a cricketer he what changes are needed so more talented players are produced. Being chairman he can basically make the major decisions and get help in areas he's not comfortable in such as administration.
 
I'd prefer Ehsan Mani.

That man has deserved this job for a very long time and is an excellect adminstrator.

You know why BCCI is a rich money making cash cow?

Its because of the people who work their.

What Pakistan needs is a Srinivasan kind of guy. Business minded who could make sure Pakistan cricket gets its worth.

Justice Malik Mohammed Qayyum would disagree. He let Wasim go lightly just because he was a fan and reccomended Wasim never become Captain of Pakistan again.

The evidence against Wasim Akram has not come up to the requisite level, primarily because of Ata-ur-Rehman's perjuring himself. This Commission is willing to give him the benefit of doubt. However, there has been some evidence to cast doubt on his integrity. As such, this Commission recommends that he be removed from the captaincy of the Pakistan Cricket Team and a person of impeccable character be appointed. Moreover, he should be censured, kept under watch and his finances should be investigated.

So, now he is set to become the chief of PCB!

BCCI or Indian cricket rich for one reason, the size of the cricket watching audience. When you have hundreds of millions of watching and paying fans, it's not difficult to have a large income. IPL is what changed the fortunes of Indian cricket an this was founded by a man who has now been declared corrupt.

Pakistan cricket has different challenges to Indian cricket. Pak players are paid peanuts, players often chosen to know sifarish and the domestic circuit is in very poor condition. Add to this Pakistan doesn't play against the bigger cricket nations as it should. Akram could help fix these if he put his mind to it.

PCB needs a 100% clean person in charge

His whole report was confused. Why give him benefit of doubt? If the evidence wasn't strong to convict him ,then why censure him and watch his finances. Either he was guilty or not?
 
Lol @ the Wasim is Imran's friend theory.

IK has a lot better cricketing friends than Wasim

People concerned about nepotism were quiet when NS appointed a journalist and Zardari a banker
 
Not sure how true this is - Wasim has a very good career mentoring teams, coaching teams and also doing media work. He will be earning a huge fortune from all this and I would be surprised if he gave all this up.

Pakistan doesnt plays against bigger cricketing nations? We have been touring England, NZ, SA every year or so.

Suggests that Pakistani cricketers are paid peanuts, and Pakistan doesnt gets to play bigger series in the same post where he says we dont need someone like Sirinivasan and thinks Wasim with no experience is a solution. What? :confused:

Let me send you the entire report to read and let you be the judge of what really the whole deal with Wasim was. http://static.cricinfo.com/db/NATIONAL/PAK/NEWS/qayyumreport/qayyum_report.html


More importantly, it is further recommended that Wasim Akram be removed from captaincy of the national team. The captain of the national team should have a spot-less character and be above suspicion. Wasim Akram seems to be too sullied to hold that office.

This was a recommendation, up to the board to follow or not!

again no.

It doesn't matter what the size is, you need a proper business minded person to lead that group.

IPL is another money making cash cow, which was only possible because of Lalit Modi.

It doesn't matter if you have an audience if you dont have a person to properly sell it to general public.

Akram is not someone who could run a whole office
 
It's also interesting because Imran will appoint a Cricketer, and any Cricketer he appoints will be called Nepotism. Do people really want more Journalists, Bankers and politicians in PCB?

I was referring to those who play in the domestic circuit, they are paid peanuts compared to India, , Aus, SA or English county players. Ind get a 5 match series against England, we got 4. India, Eng and Aus play each other regularly, Pak plays more regularly against the smaller sides. Are you new to cricket bro?

It is always not black and white is it! As he said Ata Ur Rehman, perjured himself, so looks like Malik and Rehman became the fall guys. Happens in every walk of life. Im not saying Wasim is still like that, everyone makes mistakes. I personally feel there are people who may be more worthy than Wasim to be heading the PCB. Just my opinion!

I have read the report before, i dont think the board will have much say in it. Its all upto Imran on how he takes things forward. He should not move away from his principals imo otherwise he will be similar to the ones before him.
[MENTION=135038]Major[/MENTION] its not about choosing a cricketer as Chairman, its more about if Imran is going to make PCB a democratic board or going to make an auto-cratic selection irrespective of the person involved.

Do you think Indian cricket would be so powerful or rich if they had half the population of Pakistan?

I agree they have better governance of their cricket but this isn't the main reason for their power and wealth in world cricket, it's the hundreds of millions of Indians who are paying out of their pockets.

I suggest you read the recent BOG report where the budget for domestic got doubled (?). India gets to play these sides purely on financial reasons but didnt you just tell us that Pakistan and India have different problems.

Even with all the financial problems and after the incompetence of Ijaz Butt we still have managed to play England every year since the Sethi era. Now, i wont give credit to Sethi for doing that but it shows that the board under his tenure did a lot of positive stuff.
 
Wasim is clearly not an executive, but then again the PCB chairman isn't just an executive position.
The chairman selects the captain, and sign off on the team before every tour. So clearly cricketing knowledge is required

I would be okay with Wasim in this role as long as he keeps experienced business executives by his side for operations/negotiations/finances/all non cricketing issues
 
IK stated in the past that the PCB should be an independent entity, not directly tied to the government. If he is such an advocate of independent institutions then he should let separate the direct ties between the PCB and government. Either Sethi finishes out his term, or the PCB selects a new leader. I dont have anything against Wasim Akram, but he is really qualified for the job?

Please detail the average player wage in Pak domestic cricket comparing it with other nations?

Yes Pak has different problems, playing more against the bigger nations is one of them. Since I can recall Pak have never played a test series of more than 3 tests at home(UAE) while India plays 4 or 5 at home against the same nations.

I am not the accuser of lower domestic wages so i think it should be you who should bring us facts to support your argument.

I can give support to my argument of doubling the domestic budget. Can you give to yours?

How has Pakistan different problems when the reason that we dont get to play longer series with the big teams is purely financial?

There is a whole thread on it.

http://www.pakpassion.net/ppforum/showthread.php?163945-Pakistani-First-Class-Cricketers-Salaries

Sure if you say the domestic budget has doubled but this has nothing to do with my concern unless the wages have increased significantly.

The number of matches in a bilateral series is agreed up between both boards. Finances are not the only concern. A stronger board will be able to agree more matches with the bigger nations bringing in more income.
 
Guys Guys relax!
If anyone is appointed, it will be through proper elections...
Imran hated the idea of Sethi being directly appointed by Nawaz Sharif and surely he wont make the same mistake.

But what makes a board stronger? Money, right?

If I were to make Wasim the chairman of the PCB, I would have him train with Najam Sethi for at least a year. It would mark a dignified end of NS’s tenure and would give Wasim a necessary insight in to the world of administration. Plus, IK would come across as a saner leader, contrary to the image created about him by the foreign media. It would also silence his critiques on at least one front.

^^^^This
Plus, his first stint as captain ended in player's rebellion. He couldn't even handle 11 players properly.
 
We need Cricket brains in charge of Cricket matters so Wasim would be a good choice. Right people in the right places is the key to a successful institution. Don't ask a pharmacist to do a lawyers job despite both professions being so well respected.

Depends.

CEOs rarely get the job without lower level management experience. Wasim has a cricketing background but can he manage the entire business?

A lot of the work chairmen do has little to do with the actual sport (sponsorship deals, contract negotiations, TV contracts).
 
Captains have this tendency to put their trusted men at key positions. They somehow feel more comfortable and more in control by doing that. No harm in doing that but shouldn't backfire.
