Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) current chairman Ramiz Raja is likely to be replaced, as per a report in Cricket Pakistan.
“According to sources, the following federal cabinet meeting may discuss amendments in the board’s constitution along with the potential removal of Ramiz Raja and Asad Ali Khan from PCB Board of Governors (BoG). This will pave way for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to appoint a new PCB Chairman under Article 47 of the board’s constitution,” the report said.
The report further revealed that a lot of high-ranking officials have banked the idea of replacing Ramiz. Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has already met Najam Sethi, Zaka Ashraf, and Khalid Mahmood.
“The source further added that under the current PCB constitution, the government cannot directly change the PCB Chairman. However, following the changes in the PCB constitution, it will reserve the right to withdraw its nominations for the governing board and avoid direct action to avoid any controversy in case a legal battle may break out.” The report read.
