The wave of resignations within the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) continues unabated, with Naila Bhatti, the Commissioner of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), being the latest to step down from her position.
Reports suggest that Bhatti’s resignation has been accepted by the PCB, citing differences with board officials as the reason for her departure. Bhatti, who was part of the team under former PCB chairman Najam Sethi, has chosen to part ways with the cricket board.
This resignation follows closely on the heels of Dr. Sohail Saleem’s departure from the PCB. Dr. Saleem, who served as the PCB’s Medical and Sports Sciences Director, tendered his resignation on Thursday, citing undisclosed reasons.
Dr. Saleem’s resignation came amidst allegations of negligence and delays in diagnosing player injuries within the PCB’s medical panel. The board’s Chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, responded to these concerns by initiating an independent inquiry into the matter.
The recent shake-up in the PCB’s leadership underscores the ongoing challenges facing Pakistan cricket administration. As the PCB navigates through these transitions, cricket enthusiasts are keenly observing how the board addresses these issues and moves forward with its mandate.
Chairman Naqvi took to Twitter to underscore the importance of the independent inquiry into player injuries, signaling the PCB’s commitment to transparency and accountability in its operations.
The resignations of key personnel like Naila Bhatti and Dr. Sohail Saleem underscore the need for stability and effective management within the PCB. As the board works to address these challenges, the focus remains on nurturing Pakistani cricket talent and ensuring the sport’s continued growth and success on the international stage.
