Govt decides to sack PCB chairman: report

The government has decided to sack Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja, a news outlet reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, PM Shehbaz, who is also the patron-in-chief of PCB, is expected to nominate two names for the Board of Governors for the next chairman of the board.

The PM is likely to nominate former PCB chief Najam Sethi and Shakil Sheikh.

However, Raja had earlier called the PCB staffers to tell them that he has got a “green signal” from the government to continue working.

“I have been told to continue working as the PCB chairman,” Raja had told the PCB staffers. “We should now focus on work rather than thinking about what is going to happen.”
