Mohsin Naqvi, Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), has taken decisive action following the national team’s disappointing World Cup performance, signaling a significant shake-up within the cricketing body.
Addressing concerns over the team’s lackluster showing, Naqvi made his first major move by removing Wahab Riaz and Abdul Razzaq from their roles in the selection committee. This decision was prompted by their involvement in player selections that did not meet expectations, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Naqvi expressed confidence in the capabilities of Muhammad Yusuf and Asad Shafiq, indicating they will retain their positions under the new committee structure. “This step is necessary to uphold meritocracy and ensure accountability within the PCB,” remarked a source close to the PCB chairman’s office.
The chairman’s actions highlight a commitment to reorganize and strengthen Pakistan’s cricket infrastructure, including the formation of a new selection committee in the near future.
