It's hard to recall any instance globally where the chairman of a sports organization assumes a ministerial role in an unrelated field without stepping down from their position. Even if we hypothetically consider Naqvi qualified for either role (which he isn't), how can we be confident he'll effectively manage both the PCB and the significant responsibilities of the interior ministry?
Undoubtedly, compromises will have to be made to accommodate Naqvi's political aspirations. But is it fair to the fans and Pakistani citizens in general to bear the consequences of these compromises?
Here is Naqvi's response to being asked, 'Can you effectively manage two significant positions simultaneously?

Personally, I find the Naqvi situation to be quite pathetic. I hope he has an epiphany and resigns for the sake of Pakistan, but given recent events, I'm not holding my breath for that to occur.

Questions have been raised about whether it was right to give two such important positions to one man and whether Mohsin Naqvi, despite his reputation as a doer, will be able to cope with the burden of the dual responsibilities. And the question was asked again when Naqvi interacted with the Karachi media for the first time after taking over as PCB chairman here at the National Bank Stadium Monday night.
Asked whether he can juggle both jobs, Naqvi smiled and then said that he thinks he can. "Yes I can manage both," he said but decided against saying much about it. A few minutes later, he was asked the same question again and his response wasn't different.
In fact he was non-committal on most issues, responding with one-liners to most questions that mattered. However, he did hint at carrying out long-term plans including downsizing the PCB which he said has almost 900 employees.
