Interim Punjab Chief Minister Mohsin Naqvi on Tuesday was elected unopposed as the 37th chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for a three-year term.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, the cricket board said: \u201cMr Syed Mohsin Raza Naqvi has been elected unanimously and unopposed as the PCB\u2019s 37th Chairman today.\u201d<\/p>\n

The PCB also shared a photo of Naqvi meeting chief selector Wahab Riaz and the board\u2019s Chief Operating Officer Salman Naseer.<\/p>\n

The announcement came after the PCB\u2019s Board of Governors held a meeting at the National Cricket Academy in Lahore, according to a PCB press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking to the board members following his election, Naqvi said: \u201cI am deeply honoured and humbled to have been unanimously elected as the chairman of the PCB. I am thankful for the trust and confidence reposed in me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am fully committed to upgrading the standard of the game in the country and bringing professionalism in the administration of cricket in Pakistan,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The country\u2019s cricket governing body had been without a chairman for the last 13 months with the PCB having been run by two separate interim management committees during that time.<\/p>\n

Naqvi\u2019s appointment filled the spot left vacant in the PCB\u2019s Board of Governors by former chief Zaka Ashraf, who stepped down from the post<\/a> on January 19.<\/p>\n

The resignation had come three days after the Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordi\u00adnation (IPC) had disallowed<\/a> Ashraf from holding an IMC meeting wherein he was supposed to form the Board of Governors, which was the first step to hold the elections of PCB chairman for a three-year term.<\/p>\n

On Jan 22, Naqvi\u2019s name had emerged<\/a> as the frontrunner to become the new PCB chairman Interim Management Committee. Sources said the media mogul had the backing of caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar \u2014 who is also the PCB\u2019s patron-in-chief \u2014 to take up the role.<\/p>\n

On January 27, the PCB had announced<\/a> the composition of its Board of Governors in accordance with Paragraph 10 of the 2014 PCB constitution. Naqvi and Mustafa Ramday were included in the Board of Governors as the two nominees of the prime minister. The remaining eight members came equally from regional cricket associations and departments.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
