The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee has been granted a two-month extension by the PCB Patron and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The Ministry of Inter-Provincial Coordination (IPC) issued a notification regarding the extension on 23rd April.
The Management Committee was appointed on 22nd December 2022 for a four-month period with the aim to revive the 2014 PCB Constitution in its true essence. This included the restoration and integration of departmental cricket in the domestic structure, conducting elections at the district/zonal/regional level, and creating a democratic and elected Board of Governors.
Substantial progress has already been made in this regard. Many departments have confirmed their return to the domestic structure, and the election process at the district/zonal/regional level has recently picked up pace following the appointment of an independent Election Commissioner by the PCB Patron Prime Minister last month.
Once the elections process at the district/zonal/regional level is completed, a Board of Governors will be constituted. It will include four elected regional presidents, four departmental appointees, and two PCB Patron nominees, who will then elect the Chairman of the PCB.
It is expected that the entire process of reviving the 2014 PCB Constitution will be completed within the next 60 days.
