KARACHI: Former
Pakistan captain
Ramiz Raja
is set to officially take over as the new Chairman of the
Pakistan Cricket Board
on Monday.
The Pakistan Cricket Board announced on Saturday that a special meeting of the Board of Governors (BoG) has been convened on Monday in which the
PCB
Election Commissioner Mr Justice (retd) Sheikh Azmat Saeed, will conduct the election and preside over the Special Meeting.
Prime Minister
Imran Khan, who is also PCB's patron-in-chief, has nominated Ramiz and a senior bureaucrat
Asad Ali Khan
as the new members of the BOG. It is a foregone conclusion that Ramiz will be elected as chairman to replace
Ehsan Mani
, who completed his three year tenure last month.
The PCB said that the new chairman will also hold a media conference after the meeting at the National High Performance Centre.
Although Ramiz is yet to officially take over as chairman but his influence has been visible in the selection of the
World Cup
squad and in other matters like the sudden resignations of head coach
Misbah-ul-Haq and bowling coach
Waqar Younis.
Ramiz is expected to announce some policy decisions regarding the organization of cricket in Pakistan, the selection committee system and other important issues.
