As per reports:

Sources confirmed that a former PCB chairman has already been tipped to take over from Ramiz Raja and has been congratulated for reclaiming his position in private gatherings.

If PM Imran Khan loses the no-confidence motion then Ramiz Raja's position as PCB Chairman will be in danger and it remains to be seen how it will impact the progress that Raja and co. have made thus far.

Who's been tipped to take over, Najam sethi again?
 
Sethi did not do bad as PCB chairman.

Funny thing is that IK mocked the PCB chairman appointing process all the time when he was in opposition, and when he came into power, he did absolutely nothing about it and did his own political appointments for this role.
 
As PCB is a political organization , any slight change in government will impact the entire PCB ranks
Only good thing is new patron will not interfere as much as what IK did when he destroyed the entire team in 2019 (which was beginning to develop)

Yes, a cricketing GOAT destroyed our cricket team which was beating teams left, right and centre. Instead, Iniqbal223 should be given the responsibility to run PCB since he knows more than IK about cricket.
 
Ramiz was doing alright though, infact much better than Najam or any PCB chairman earlier.
 
I expect with Imran Khan thrown out there will be a new chairman, a new CEO and the new domestic structure will be obliterated and we will go back to 16 teams in the QEA Trophy and Habib Bank Ltd vs KRL.

Did you read the PSL audit and corruption report under him?
 
Corruption and corrupt people that were involved before will reign supreme again.

Well done to the ill-informed, arrogant, spineless and ignorant politicians.
 
If that's the case Ramiz Raja would have lasted only slightly longer than the European Super league 😅
 
If IK is removed it could mean the end of RR.

The new regime will bring in their own people.
 
Ramiz looked quite down and depressed. He's done amazingly well in a short span of time. Wish we could see him lead for a few more years.
 
It's inevitable. Well done IK and RR, who have brought a top tier team back to PK for the 1st time since 2008. IA which ever pittu the mafia brings in, doesn't turn out to be like the mafia themselves
 
:)) Rameez abhi tou aya tha yar

Glad this is happening, Rameez Raja would be thrown out.

Anyways, Imran Khan could had done one thing, he could had made the constitution of PCB stronger.

There is a loophole in the PCB constitution which keeps on being violated by PMs. Imran Khan also violated it aswell.

To be a PCB chairman, who have to be a member of BOG. The loophole is that anyone can be added or removed as a BOG. Once a BOG member, you are told who to vote for and that person becomes chairman.

Atleast, make 4-5 years time compulsory for a BOG to serve after being made chairman.

Anyways good riddance. Chairman of 6 months :))

Hopefully, a new chairman comes and brings back Misbah as coach. Fingers crossed
 
The good thing having a non cricketer as PM is that atleast he wont change captains because of his liking,

Azhar Ali was replaced with Babar Azam only because of Imran Khan and our team became a mockery in test

Was it good with Azhar then, how many series did they win.. well actually should count how many matches and series did they lose will be more apt..

No one would appoint him to be the captain except you and Misbah
 
Ramiz Raja was the only other person in power to speak up against the west hypocrisy after NZ and England pulledout of their tours to Pakistan. And Pakistani team had been gelli g well under him with good world cup campaign as well as fighting series against Australia, albeit more guts weterequired in test series. Shame we will have another corrupt Yes man again.

Sure bring back Misbah, so that Pakistan can be whitewashed by Srilanka C team at home and start losing games against Zimbabwe, go down the rankings from being no.1 T20 team to no.7 and also by the way go play the qualifiers for 50 over WC, what not can he do the great man with sheer defeatist mentality..

I hope Misbah doesnt come anywhere closer to the board or the team..

Misbah never picked arsal. He walked out when his name came up, the selection was made by someone else.

Also, Shakeel Shaikh has done alot of work in Islamabad Cricket

Azhar Ali was one of the worst test captains we’ve ever had. If you’re goona try to make a point you should try harder.

His point is that Rameez should be removed because he removed Misbah. I mean why would you try to have a sane conversation with someone as unhinged as this guy?

Not yet... The case is going to supreme court and they will decide on what happened today..

Second rameez raja can be removed in a care taker govt if that comes in
 
Would be a travesty if the domestic structure is revamped again

The only good thing which Ramiz has done is getting rid of misbah. I will be forever grateful for him for that. No matter how good or bad he performs. He’s done more then enough for our cricket.

Indeed , getting rid of Misbah itself is half job done. Now get rid of that Misbahi defensive defeatist mindset that is still reminiscence running through the veins of the players.

U mean the guy who Called Misbah a jackal, then got Arsal Sheikh picked in Misbahs team, made him run like a jackal then.

SS also had a hand in getting his nephew captain Pakistan A team
 
Karachi, Apr 3 (PTI) The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) heaved a sigh of relief on Sunday after President Arif Alvi dissolved the National Assembly post following dismissal of ‘No-Confidence’ motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan by the deputy speaker.

The Chief Justice of Pakistan Umar Ata Bandial has taken suo moto cognisance of the current situation following the dismissal of a ‘No-Confidence’ motion and the subsequent dissolution of the National Assembly, the spokesperson of the apex court also confirmed on Sunday.

“The feeling of relief is temporary but at least it means that we can carry on work as usual until the next general elections are held” PCB source told PTI.

Uncertainty had prevailed in the PCB itself after the ‘No-Trust’ motion was filed against the former Pakistan captain by the joint opposition parties in the National Assembly.

The source said seeds of doubts were created within PCB hierarchy since the PM is involved in nominating and getting his candidate elected as chairman of the board, who then makes all major policy decisions.

“Since the PM is involved in making key decisions in cricket affairs obviously there was ambiguity was to what will happen if the no-trust motion is successful against Imran Khan,” another board source said.

“We have seen in the past that change of governments and political uncertainty has also led to changes in the board,” he added.

Imran, after taking charge in 2018, roped in former ICC President, Ehsan Mani as the PCB chairman, who in turn appointed UK based Wasim Khan as the CEO of the PCB.

But last September, Imran accepted Mani’s resignation and appointed former Test captain Ramiz Raja as Chairman of the board.

Ramiz has made no secret about his complete support for Imran and his policies including in cricket matters.

Ramiz, after taking over, reportedly forced head coach Misbah ul Haq and bowling coach, Waqar Younis to resign and also created a situation in which CEO Wasim had to put in his papers.

There were other changes made in the cricket board set-up by Ramiz, including the removal of Grant Bradburn as the head of the High Performance Centre etc.

Ramiz, in recent times had made it clear, that he would prefer to resign if Imran Khan is no longer PM and go back to his job in the media as a commentator and cricket pundit.

Since Ramiz took charge the PCB successfully hosted the PSL earlier this year and also has meticulously arranged the home series against Australia who toured Pakistan after 24 years. PTI CORR KHS KHS KHS

A few anxious looks over the shoulder at the moment from many in the PCB corridors.

No doubt if the Govt changes, major shake-up time at the PCB.

Back to square one for some.
 
Well here we go.

Some on the sidelines now sharpening their pencils and getting their speeches ready.
 
Let's see how quickly the profits made from the Australian series end up in the pockets of the politician with the new setup

And people wonder why there is no stability or vision in PCB. It is ever constantly changing and everyone coming in with their own agenda.

It is ridiculous government has any sort of influence on what happens with a cricket board.

Imran Khan's fault

He should have made sure that PCB constitution has no such thing as Patron in chief. It is entirely his fault that he made U turn on the promise of ending political interference in PCB

Absolutely. It is something that can be implemented and should be going forward. Just think about how illogical it is that government is deciding who runs PCB when they don't know anything going about the current cricket affairs. Now, the in-charge person can come in, fire everyone, hire all his yes men and complete change the system. It's nonsense.

There is just no stability or reliability from PCB and it's structure and frankly speaking, that's exactly how the team has looked for decades as well with no stability, no reliability and no structure. Just far too many cooks in the kitchen and the cooks are ever changing with no one lasting more than a couple of years at best.

It's wild seeing this when comparing it to how NBA/MLB/NHL/NFL are run where there are coaches & managers that last for decades and teams end up running like well oiled machines despite roster turnover and inclusion of a good proper development system.

I think Ramiz is doing a decent job so far to be honest and I hope he is given a chance to stay.
 
One thing everyone has missed is that new consitution of PCB doesn't allow the BOG to be dissolved by PM of Pakistan. He can surely pick a new chairman once his term ends.

Interesting times

The country is an absolute sham right now, and you are expecting one of it’s institutions to be a well-oiled functioning machine :))

This tamasha will continue until we fix things at the top. Without going into a political discussion, I don’t believe this country or it’s people deserve a change in any capacity whatsoever.

in other words, morale and mood which was good will be messed up. Seriously feel that gut punch it will affect performances
 
Ummm, would Rameez Raja resign? Like.. Misbah and Waqar… ? Or will he stick around and wait…

Could be the Return of Ijaz Butt ?

Prepare for statements like "I heard loud and clear talk in bookie circles, Big Three are sons of pigs, they cannot sue me I will sue them" etc etc.
 
It would be a great shame if ramiz is removed, look at what happened at the aussie tour to pakistan, a great deal of success can be contributed to him, he was also thinking of a PSL auction but pakistani politicians are short sighted so they wont see that success instead bringing in their own people. Great shame, well done to you ramiz you did well but things now out of your control.

PCB has been a joke since IK came into power and implemented his rules/laws/vision

Everything has been so out of touch.

PCB under IK regime: Baatain Croro ki, Dukaan Pakoro ki!

So true bro. Things were better when we had Najam Sethi. I would like to see him back.

PCB's performance under IK's regime is a clear reflection of PTI.

The 6 team system is all a fraud too

What is the point of such a system when the players coming through are so mediocre? I watched 90% of the Pakistan cup. The domestic system would be as rubbish even if they have 3 teams let alone 6.

Besides 4-5 players, everyone in Pakistan cricket is being carried when it matters
 
Pakistan should be banned from cricket, only way they will learn from these political appointments

I have said it earlier that 6 or 16 teams doesn’t matter at all if the quality isn’t coming from lower tier
 
Well here we go.

Expect some, if not many changes now.

New faces, old faces, they'll all be waiting for a telephone call.
 
All that money earned from the Aus series will be gone in 60 seconds
 
Changes are imminent. I just hope the players aren't the ones who get affected by it.

A lot of domestic players were rendered unemployed under IK's restructuring. And previous CEO called it "PCB is not a job providing place" yet not doing anything about so many redundant posts in PCB filled with guys who leeched way more money than poor FC cricketers barely making their ends meet.
