The PCB management committee meeting was held in Lahore on Sunday. Further details have been revealed regarding the meeting, indicating that several members criticized tournament director Salman Naseer for organizational shortcomings in the Asia Cup.
According to them, the event was a disaster from a management perspective in Sri Lanka. They suggested forming a committee to investigate the matter. Members pointed out that ticket prices were changed frequently. For the first time in history, Pakistan versus India matches were played in nearly empty stadiums, which was embarrassing to witness. Some members recommended removing Salman Naseer and appointing someone else as the Chief Operating Officer (COO).
Director of International Cricket Usman Wahla also faced criticism. On this occasion, the chairman management committee, Zaka Ashraf, said that Salman is a capable official and is highly respected by us. The atmosphere became a bit tense, so they decided to pause the meeting.
It is noteworthy that there is uncertainty around Salman Naseer’s position these days. His hold on the legal department has weakened, and Bilal, a lawyer from the High Court, has joined the PCB as a director. The legal manager, Saad Imran, has been sent on a three-month deputation to the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Surprisingly, just before Bilal's arrival, the Head of Legal, Ariba Khalil, went on a two-month vacation abroad. Zaka Ashraf was also informed about this later. The absence of seniors could make it challenging for the new director to manage the affairs effectively.
