Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi elected unanimously and unopposed as the PCB's 37th Chairman

[Rana]

Meetings: 100

Changes in selection committee: 200

Appointing new office bearers: 300


*changes in core group of players: 0

*changes in central contract categories: -1 (adding Naseem to Cat A)

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.
