Naqvi's biggest sin is holding onto multiple positions that all require a full-time presence. Even if he were the greatest administrator ever, it's impossible to do justice to all his roles from PCB Chairman, Interior Minister, Minister for Narcotics and Senator (may have missed some).

Hiring Kirsten and Gillespie was a coup and the Champions Cup is a decent idea in principle. However that's outweighed by his reinstatement of Babar as white-ball captain which reportedly toxified the dressing room, chopping/changing of selectors, and micromanagement.

Like Ramiz, there seems a reluctance to delegate. If the reason for that is his underlings like Usman Wahla and Salman Naseer aren't up to the job - then replace them ! Wahla should've been shown the door after the NOC debacle with Usama Mir.

Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board Mohsin Naqvi left for Dubai for the ICC Board of Directors meeting

The important meeting of the ICC Board of Directors will be held in Dubai today.

Chairman PCB Mohsin Naqvi will attend the meeting of the Board of Directors.

Mohsin Naqvi while addressing the press conference today:

"Our players, for one reason or another, often suffer from injuries, and looking at the past, we see that they’re not recovering well. If you need a bowler, they’re often out with injuries. The talent is there, but it’s not coming to the front. We need to work on this issue and still have a lot of work to do."

"Aaqib Javed is the convener and conducting all meetings at the moment. We’re not just using the title 'chief'; that’s a separate matter. If you observe his contributions in the meetings, he’s conducting eight-hour-long sessions, where everyone has an equal vote. Aaqib has his own experience, as do Aleem Dar and Azhar Ali. Each person brings their expertise, so while Aaqib is the convener, there’s no emphasis on just calling him 'chief'; I think the message is clear."

"If the boys lose on the Australia tour, I’ll take full responsibility, but if they win, the credit goes to them. My only demand is that if we lose, it should be after a fight and not from a complete collapse."

"As for the issue of surgery, all I could do was advise, which I was doing continuously. I don’t want to get into the details. I believe that after the Champions One Day Cup, the players were available, and making a decision at that time would have been easier. If I had acted immediately without any data, it could have been damaging."

"Just because I mentioned surgery doesn’t mean I’d immediately proceed with it in the next hour. I was in favor of resting the underperforming players and letting young talent play. However, I can’t tell you the full story of what was happening with injured players, but hopefully, things will improve for them in the days to come. We need to focus more on the domestic level and our pool of 200-400 cricketers."

With life-saving surgery you need to proceed immediately and PCT is pretty much always on its last few breaths.

Love how here's here to hog the credit for something he couldn't have imagined in even his most vivid wet dream lmao

The only surgery we need immediately is to remove all the cronies from Pakistan and Pakistan cricket for good once and for all.

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, while speaking to the media at LCCA Ground:

Improving the condition of grounds across Pakistan:

"InshaAllah, you will find the condition of our grounds across Pakistan much improved. Sumair Sahab has taken charge, and in the coming months, you will see that in areas where there are no grounds, we will purchase land to build new ones. For existing grounds, we aim to improve their condition because if these grounds do not remain lively, it will impact international cricket. Our focus is to ensure the availability of grounds in every city. InshaAllah, we will make it happen."

Domestic cricket structure:

"We are empowering every aspect of the domestic cricket structure. We are reviewing everything to ensure that players coming from the lower domestic levels are of high quality. InshaAllah, we will have good updates for you in the coming days."

Preparing practice venues:

"This will definitely serve as a practice venue. It has been used in the past, and we will continue to do so in the future, InshaAllah. For example, in Faisalabad, we faced challenges due to a lack of practice venues for tournaments. We need to make venues available there and in other cities as well."

Stadium renovations:

"We want the Peshawar Stadium to be ready soon. Other stadiums also need renovations so that cricket can return to cities where it was not happening before. InshaAllah, you will see more tournaments in cities like Faisalabad, where we have already hosted one."

Chairman PCB Mohsin Naqvi meets Chairman Saudi Arabian Cricket Federation

Riyadh, 18 December 2024:

Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Mohsin Naqvi met with the Chairman of the Saudi Arabian Cricket Federation, Prince Saud bin Mishal Al Saud, in Riyadh to discuss avenues for cricket development and player training in Saudi Arabia.

During the meeting, Chairman PCB emphasised the importance of mutual collaboration to promote cricket in the region and offered extensive support in stadium development and cricket infrastructure enhancement in Saudi Arabia. He also proposed a player exchange programme to further cricket development in the both nations.

“Pakistan and Saudi Arabia share a strong bond, and we are ready to extend all possible support to strengthen cricket in Saudi Arabia. We look forward to welcoming Saudi players to Pakistan for training and development opportunities. Pakistan is every Saudi's second home, and we are happy to collaborate on cricket development and infrastructure,” said Chairman PCB Mohsin Naqvi.

He added that Saudi Arabia could send its emerging players to Pakistan for training, and the PCB would provide comprehensive assistance for their development. Chairman Naqvi also highlighted the potential for a close working relationship between the two cricketing bodies to foster the growth of the sport in Saudi Arabia.

Chairman Saudi Arabian Cricket Federation, Prince Saud bin Mishal Al Saud, appreciated the PCB’s gesture and highlighted Saudi Arabia’s growing interest in cricket, with nearly 18,000 active players in the Kingdom. “We are actively working on player development and recently won the ACC Challenge Cup. We are keen to collaborate closely with Pakistan to further cricket promotion and development in Saudi Arabia,” he said.

Both leaders expressed a shared commitment to cricket’s advancement in the region, with Chairman PCB reiterating his invitation to Prince Saud bin Mishal Al Saud to attend the ICC Champions Trophy matches in Pakistan in 2025.
